Abstract

A synthetic integrated urban drainage system is used in this paper to explore alternative methods for flood risk attribution. The only feasible approach to tackling the problem of huge number of variables in urban systems is by hierarchical simplification of the system, with the attribution analysis being applied at several levels, to identify the system components responsible for flood risk. Sensitivity-based attribution apportions risk between the variables that influence the total risk. In this approach, statistical means are used to analyse damage from a series of events, based on deterministic hydraulic modelling of street flooding. Two examples of risk attribution based on sensitivity indices are shown.
