- Additional information
- In coastal mega-cities situated in developing nations pumping stations, which provide vital flood mitigation infrastructure, are often vulnerable to trash blockage as a result of frequent dumping of solid waste in water bodies, leading to exacerbated flooding scenarios. This study is significant as it develops a graph-based network analysis technique to identify the pumping stations that are most vulnerable to trash blockage. This information is vital to decision makers when planning and prioritising infrastructure to be serviced or upgraded as part of flood preparedness in coastal cities.
