Changes in climate such as increasing temperature and precipitation and increased urbanization have an impact on changes in freshwater runoff and flooding. This research aims to develop hydrologic models to predict stormwater flooding of inlands during extreme climate events. The fine spatial-scale information on flooding provide evacuation and adaptation guidelines to mitigate hazards from extreme climate events. The models help applied scientists, water managers, practitioners and policymakers predict future scenarios and formulate guidelines for building and infrastructure sustainability under a changing climate and environment.
