  Assessing Urban Surface Runoff Management Using the SWAT Model, GIS, and the Rational Method: A Case Study of Karapakkam

  By Yogashri I, N. Sudhan Srinivas

  Abstract: Urban surface runoff management encompasses strategies aimed at regulating rainwater flow, reducing urban flooding, enhancing groundwater recharge, and contributing to disaster risk mitigation for sustainable urban development. This study seeks to optimize surface runoff management in urban settings by using the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model integrated with geographic information systems (GIS) to minimize flood risks. The research focuses on the peak runoff in Karapakkam, a locality within …
