Investigation of rainwater drainage s problems in the coastal cities

The problem of storm-water drainage in urban areas is analyzed, particularly in areas of rapid and recent urban development such as the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The impact on drainage of an urban development process that does not respect the hydrology of preexisting natural basins is studied. The problems presented by numerical modelling of the different processes involved in urban drainage are also analyzed in a conceptual way, especially the hydraulic behavior of collector networks.
