Performance evaluation of urban drainage systems: an analytic hierarchy process approach for the Jaracati basin in Brazil

Abstract

The efficiency of drainage systems in urban centers and especially in their peripheral regions has deserved more and more special attention since their interrelationship with social and environmental aspects is associated with the performance of drainage infrastructures. Integrated urban water management is a major factor in the effectiveness of an urban drainage system. In large cities, negative effects caused by the disorderly urbanization process, especially those related to rainwater runoff, are increasingly present. An evaluation model of urban drainage systems was generated using System Fragility Indicators (IFS) and their ranking via Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), in the Jaracati River basin, Maranhão State, Brazil. Indicators were measured through the evaluation of the system and the experience of specialists in drainage systems. The results obtained allowed for the consolidation of a model to support planning and decision-making in the assessment processes of measures to mitigate socio-environmental impacts involved in the urban drainage of a watershed, with performance indicators capable of guaranteeing the support of a model being verified measurement of performance parameters of urban drainage systems.

“…The basic concept of the Smirnov Kolmogorov test is to compare the data distribution (which will be tested for normality) with the standard normal distribution. The standard normal distribution is data transformed into a Z-score and assumed to be normal [15]- [17].…”

Innovative Approaches to Urban Drainage System : A Review

“…Innovative approaches to urban drainage systems represent a crucial frontier in urban planning and environmental management (Pereira et al, 2023)t. With rapid urbanization and the looming threats of climate change, traditional drainage systems are proving insufficient to manage the increasing volume of stormwater runoff and mitigate flood risks effectively (Balla et al, 2022;Raimondi et al, 2023).…”
