Visualizing stormwater behavior in urban environments using photogrammetry and 3D design – a conceptual framework

Abstract

Urbanization and climate change have increased the need for effective stormwater management. However, traditional stormwater management systems are often lacking in functionality and design quality. This article proposes a workflow for generating visual and functional models for stormwater management design. The workflow is drawn from novel photogrammetry tools and the application of 3D modeling software using aerial data from drones for the urban context, 3D modeling software can be used for simulating rain events and water flow, allowing the analysis of detailed landscape architecture designs.
