This paper presents a detailed flood damage assessment in the Raval district of Barcelona. The implementation new 1D-2D coupled model is used to obtain depths, and stage curves are developed estimate direct tangible damages. have been validated using data from surveys actual reported damages Spanish re-assurance. Finally, combining hazard vulnerability levels by GIS-based toolbox, expected annual area obtained. enables determination critical points terms flooding impacts, highlights need...
This paper presents the results of a calibrated 1D/2D coupled model simulating surface and sewer flows in Barcelona. The covers 44 km2 city land involving 241 km sewers. It was developed order to assess flood hazard Raval district, historically affected by flooding during heavy rainfalls. Special attention paid hydraulic characterization inlet systems (representing interface between underground flows), through experimental expressions used estimate effective runoff into sewers case storms. A...
In a context of high uncertainty hydro‐climatic variables, the development updated methods to assess climate change impacts is as important provision improved data. This article presents on flooding problems concerning critical area Barcelona and assessment effectiveness structural nonstructural measures cope with such impacts. For this purpose, specific study tackling influence extreme precipitation in detailed 1D / 2D ‐coupled model were used. Once was developed calibrated, several...
The RESCCUE Project is an H2020 research project that aims to help cities around the world become more resilient physical, social, and economic challenges, using water sector as central point of approach. will generate models tools bring this objective practice, while delivering a framework enabling city resilience assessment, planning management. This be achieved by integrating software tools, methods, new knowledge related detailed urban services performance into novel promising loosely...
The results of recent climate projections for the city Barcelona show a relevant increment maximum rainfall intensities period 2071–2100. Considering as system systems, urban resilience is strictly linked to proper functioning services and knowledge cascading effects that may occur in case failure one or more critical infrastructures particular strategic sector. In this context, aim paper assess through analysis behavior main pluvial floods current future conditions due change. A...
Abstract Climate change effects on subdaily rainfall (from 5 min to a few hours) can hardly be measured in mid‐latitude climates due the high natural variability of precipitation patterns and their local topography. The goal this study was obtain projections intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves, for up 2‐h events, comparing two approaches that use daily outputs downscaled Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase (CMIP5) multi‐model projections: (a) direct scaling expected probable...
Abstract. Global change may imply important changes in the future occurrence and intensity of extreme events. Climate scenarios characterizing these plausible were previously obtained for Llobregat River basin (NE Spain). This paper presents implementation HBV (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning) hydrological model. Then, expected terms flash flood are assessed two different sub-basins: Alt Anoia (Llobregat basin). The assessment floods has been done events, using a peak over...
<p>En el marco del Proyecto europeo RESCCUE, las proyecciones climáticas para la ciudad de Barcelona muestran aumentos significativos intensidades máximas precipitación horizonte 2071-2100. En este trabajo se presenta evaluación resiliencia los servicios urbanos frente a episodios inundación condiciones lluvia actuales y futuras. El uso modelos sectoriales e integrados ha permitido valorar respuesta sistema drenaje tanto nivel alcantarillado subterráneo como superficial analizando...
Global change, including climate, land-use and socio-economic changes, is expected to increase the stress on entire water cycle. In Mediterranean region, extreme events are likely due climate change. This work, framed in EC Seventh Framework Programme project IMPRINTS, presents a methodology obtain future flood risk maps using scenarios, identifying new potential zones. The implementation of this applied Llobregat river basin case study. Two different special report emission scenarios used,...
This Special Issue brings together recent research findings related to urban resilience, in particular taking into account climate change impacts and hydrological hazards. Taking advantage of the work done H2020 RESCCUE project, 12 different papers dealing with several issues resilience areas have been published. Due complexity cities, management is one key challenges that our societies deal near future. In addition, a transversal multi-sectorial issue, affecting services, hazards, all steps...
RESCCUE is an H2020 research project that aims to help cities around the world become more resilient physical, social, and economic challenges, using water sector as central point of approach. Since 2016, has been developing methodologies tools support increase their resilience. The three cities, Barcelona, Bristol, Lisbon, have a testing platform for cutting-edge technologies developed in but these are also ready be deployed different types with climate change pressures. This paper presents...

Cities face a growing set of complex interdependent challenges. Increasing urban populations, ageing infrastructure, and uncertainties regarding the scale manifestation variety contemporary challenges all highlight increasing pressures facing decision makers to make substantial change. The influence City Hall convene, engage involve, guide steer, provide or liberate resources, demonstrate, decide are important means by which city can accelerate strengthen how it mitigates risks rebounds from...
