Abstract: Urbanization has significantly increased the volume and speed of stormwater runoff, resulting in frequent urban flooding and water quality deterioration. This paper explores modern design strategies and optimization techniques for urban stormwater drainage systems. It discusses the role of hydrological modeling, low impact development (LID) practices, and computer-aided simulation in enhancing system performance. A case study is analyzed to demonstrate the application of these principles. The paper concludes with the future scope of smart, resilient drainage systems in cities, incorporating real-time monitoring, data analytics, and community-driven planning.
Keywords: Urban Drainage, Stormwater Management, LID, Optimization, Hydrological Modeling, Flood Mitigation
