Urban flooding

The objective of this course is to better understand the causes and types of flooding in urban areas, as well as the associated risks and legislation. In addition, students will learn how to numerically simulate these natural hazards to generate associated risk maps. Finally, a study of the scientific literature on urban flooding will give a first experience in research to the students .
