A novel expert opinion-based approach to compute estimations of flood damage to property in dense urban environments. Barcelona case study
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Article
Open AccessA certain acceptable level of risk in a major drainage system must be established since urban areas cannot be made entirely free from pluvial flooding. Among the diversity of flood risks in urban areas, direct damage to ... -
A simple contaminant fate and transport modelling tool for management and risk assessment of groundwater pollution from contaminated sites
(2019-02)
Article
Open AccessContaminated sites pose a significant threat to groundwater resources. The resources that can be allocated by water regulators for site investigation and cleanup are limited compared to the large number of contaminated ... -
Assessment of human stability in sewer systems during dry weather conditions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11)
Article
Open AccessInspection and maintenance tasks are essential to guarantee the correct operation of sewer drainage networks. In combined sewers, these tasks are generally carried out during dry periods when only wastewater flow circulates ... -
Assessment of urban flood resilience in Barcelona for current and future scenarios: the RESCCUE project
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessThe results of recent climate projections for the city of Barcelona show a relevant increment of the maximum rainfall intensities for the period 2071–2100. Considering the city as a system of systems, urban resilience is ... -

Estimation of future extreme rainfall in Barcelona (Spain) under monofractal hypothesis
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-07)
Article
Open AccessClimate change effects on subdaily rainfall (from 5¿min to a few hours) can hardly be measured in mid-latitude climates due to the high natural variability of the precipitation patterns and their effects on local topography. ... -
Flood risk assessment in an underground railway system under the impact of climate change: a case study of the Barcelona metro
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessFlooding events can produce significant disturbances in underground transport systems within urban areas and lead to economic and technical consequences, which can be worsened by variations in the occurrence of climate ... -
Methodology to prioritize climate adaptation measures in urban areas: Barcelona and Bristol case studies
(2020-06)
Article
Open AccessIn the current context of fast innovation in the field of urban resilience against extreme weather events, it is becoming more challenging for decision-makers to recognize the most beneficial adaptation measures for their ... -
Modeling of E. coli distribution for hazard assessment of bathing waters affected by combined sewer overflows
(2020-05)
Article
Open AccessCombined sewer overflows (CSOs) affect bathing water quality of receiving water bodies by bacterial pollution. The aim of this study is to assess the health hazard of bathing waters affected by CSOs. This is useful for ... -
Socio-economic assessment of green infrastructure for climate change adaptation in the context of urban drainage planning
(2020-05)
Article
Open AccessGreen infrastructure (GI) contributes to improve urban drainage and also has other societal and environmental benefits that grey infrastructure usually does not have. Economic assessment for urban drainage planning and ... -

(2019-12)
Article
Open AccessPluvial flooding in Badalona (Spain) occurs during high rainfall intensity events, which in the future could be more frequent according to the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). In ... -
Use of social media crowdsourcing data for pluvial flood modelling validation to assess future climate-related impacts. The Crisi-Adapt Project
(International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyFlood models always requires calibration and validation using real data as reference. To get the access to these data is not always an easy task, both because they are not shareable information or simply not available at ...
