This book proposes a methodology for the identification of flooding
in urban areas, by the denomination of 1) urban hydrographic basin;
and 2) polygon of flood risk. This work will enable readers to
elaborate a preventive program in Latin America and analogous
regions. The authorities could use it as a basis to create urban
planning strategies or preventive programs to reduce or eliminate
the flooding hazard. The growth of an urban area implies that the
natural terrain is covered by an asphalt folder, which results in
an Urban Hydrographic Basin where rainwater drains down its streets
filtering through sewers towards rainwater drains or wastewater.
Initially, the drainages are calculated according to the population
in a specific urban area, however, the population growth causes the
growth of the urban area, where the old drainages and new roads are
linked, causing their saturation and chaos. More water runs down
the streets and is accumulated in the lower areas, causing
flooding.
