The Sensitivity of Urban Pluvial Flooding to the Temporal Distribution of Rainfall Within Design Storms
1 Introduction Flooding is the most frequently occurring and harmful natural hazard globally (Jenkins et al. 2018; Razavi et al. 2020). In England, pluvial flooding is the most widespread form of flooding, placing roughly 3.2 million properties at risk (Environment Agency 2021). Pluvial flooding—or surface water flooding as it is commonly known in the UK—occurs when the volume of rainfall exceeds the absorption capacity of the ground and the storm water drainage capacity (Archer and Fowler 2018).
Kinshasa sous l'eau : comment l'urbanisation aggrave les inondations
Les inondations d'avril 2025 à Kinshasa, la capitale de la République démocratique du Congo, n'étaient pas seulement dues à des pluies intenses. Elles révèlent surtout les conséquences d'une transformation rapide de l'utilisation des sols de la Capitale Kinshasa et ses environs. En l’absence d’infrastructures de drainage adaptées, la ville s’est muée en une agglomération tentaculaire particulièrement vulnérable aux inondations.
Why Kinshasa keeps flooding — and why it’s not just about the rain
The April 2025 flooding disaster in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, wasn’t just about intense rainfall. It was a symptom of recent land use change which has occurred rapidly in the city, turning it into a sprawling urban settlement without the necessary drainage infrastructure. Local rains combined with runoff from torrential rains coming from neighbouring Congo Central Province quickly overwhelmed the city’s small urban tributaries.

Kuwait household water demand in 2050: Spatial microsimulation and impact appraisal
Kuwait's household water demand forecast under the current situation is an indicator to inform policymakers of the urgent application of water conservation measures. A behavioural spatial microsimulation model has been applied to forecast household water demand at a disaggregate household-level. Forecast output has shown that water demand will increase by 45% by 2050, to 664.1 million cubic metres (MCM), relative to the 2019 base year.
