    Urban Flooding: Improvement of Pluvial Drainage System against Saturations on Rondeau Avenue in Paraná
    (2023-11-21) Spahn, Emanuel; Gonzalez, Nahir
    Summary— Paraná has street flooding problems which arise during abundant rainfalls due to poor urban drainage systems. The focus of this study is a specific section of Rondeau Avenue which frequently experiences street floodings. The purpose of this presentation is to address the urban flooding problem on Rondeau Avenue in Paraná. This can be done by achieving an efficient urban drainage system that meets current and future requirements. This involves the improvement of the poor stormwater drainage system maintenance and the incorporation of storm retarders. This work is structured as follows. First, the description of the context provides a brief description of Paraná city, the area where the problem is located and the points of interest around this area. After that, the persistent flooding problem experienced on Rondeau Avenue is addressed. Next, there is a description of some scenes that help picture the problematic situation. Then, the causes of the problem as well as its consequences are analyzed. The following section focuses on the Problem Approach which offers an effective and feasible engineering solution. Finally, the main strengths and weaknesses of this proposal are examined. Through this work, we expect to provide an overview of the problem that affects a section of Rondeau Avenue, with the objective of raising awareness about this situation which impacts the neighbor’s daily life and it often lacks proper visibility. Moreover, we want to address the problem by providing an innovative solution that can serve as a blueprint for solving other similar cases in the city as well.
