Rapid urbanization and the resulting urban sprawl are effects of population growth and globalization in developing nations. In India, the current share of the urban population is about 33.18% and an unprecedented growth in population and urbanization is anticipated in the twenty-first century. Coupled with urbanization, pluvial floods, and water scarcity are recurring phenomena in the major metropolitan regions of India. Metropolitan cities, being the centres of social and economic development, need a paradigm shift in managing the urban water cycle as urban agglomeration and long-term impacts of climate change are inevitable. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) emerge as a technical solution for storm water management that leverages the benefits of surface runoff using source control techniques. Several experimental and modeling studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of SuDS in reducing storm water runoff and improving water quality. Studies have typically focused on small spatial scales, such as individual sites, neighborhoods or small urban catchments. However, to address the problem of urban flooding and better water resources management under a changing climate, it is essential to understand how SuDS perform at a larger spatial scale considering the complex hydrologic processes at a basin scale. This study aims to develop a comprehensive planning, design, and analysis framework for SuDS at a basin scale to address pluvial flooding and water scarcity under changing climate. In this seminar a critical review on the literatures related to SuDS to understand the functioning of SuDS elements, state-of-the-art GIS based methods, spatial decision support systems, and hydrologic modelling of SuDS will be presented. Also, the lacuna in the existing planning and design frameworks will be discussed.
