Abstract

Urban hydrology is essential to the system used to manage urban runoff. Stormwater drainage in metropolitan areas has become a problem as a result of rapid urbanization, the depletion of vegetation, deteriorating drainage infrastructure, and climate change. The natural hydrological cycle is impacted by urbanization by raising peak flows and reducing lag times. Urban areas experience more floods as a result, while the environment suffers as a result of accelerated erosion and increased pollutants. To regulate surface runoff is to manage stormwater. It can be used in rural regions (for example, to collect rainwater), but it is crucial in cities where runoff cannot permeate due to impermeable surfaces. The major goal of conventional stormwater management is to drain away high peak flows. This paper is intended to give an overview of the studies and initiatives about environmentally friendly stormwater management strategies that have been carried out in both developed and developing countries for managing runoff in urban areas. This paper examines the utilization of polymer materials in developed and developing countries to solve runoff difficulties. It provides a comprehensive overview of the advantages, applications, and influence of these composites on sustainable water management methods. This study highlighted the various methods for managing urban stormwater in some regions as LID, BMP, SUDS, and WSUD. Furthermore, it examines the areas in South Delhi, India that are prone to waterlogging, emphasizing the need for sustainable stormwater management practices in this specific location.

Keywords: Urban water, polymer materials, urban drainage, runoff strategies, sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS).
