Modelling the effect of sediment and solid waste deposition on urban flooding in Kampala, Uganda
Pluvial flooding is a significant and growing issue in Kampala, Uganda, driven by increased urbanization, lack of sufficient maintenance of the urban drainage system and climate change. This study investigates the impact of sediment and solid waste deposition on urban flooding within the upstream part of the Lubigi catchment area. Using PCSWMM, a 1D hydraulic model was developed to simulate variou
