Flood Event Escalation and Urban Drainage Design Implications Under Nonstationary Rainfall in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
Published in Water, 2026
This paper examined flood-event escalation and drainage-design implications under nonstationary rainfall in Sao Paulo State. It linked changing rainfall behavior to urban drainage standards, showing why design assumptions need to adapt as climate conditions shift.
