The present paper analyses the problem of the sustainable design and development of urban storm - water systems in response to th e climate change and anthropic modification . In particular, the work focuses on the case of the African areas that are ch aracterized by high vulnerability towards these issues. A disaggregation procedure is adopted to estimate the Intensity - Duration - Frequency (IDF) due to climate change starting from dail y rainfall data. An integrated approach is used which combines an optimization algorithm (Harmony Search) and a hydrau lic simulator to carry out the optimal design of intervention strategies with low economic impact. The methodology is described and discussed with reference to a case study located in the city of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).

Abstract

The present paper analyses the problem of the sustainable design and development of urban storm - water systems in response to th e climate change and anthropic modification . In particular, the work focuses on the case of the African areas that are ch aracterized by high vulnerability towards these issues. A disaggregation procedure is adopted to estimate the Intensity - Duration - Frequency (IDF) due to climate change starting from dail y rainfall data. An integrated approach is used which combines an optimization algorithm (Harmony Search) and a hydrau lic simulator to carry out the optimal design of intervention strategies with low economic impact. The methodology is described and discussed with reference to a case study located in the city of Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).
