Article Synopsis
- Urban cloudburst management involves temporarily storing flood water in green spaces, but this can expose people to sewage and increase diarrheal disease risk.
- A model was created to estimate the risk of illness, focusing on a scenario where rainwater mixes with sewage in a park, leading to potential pathogen exposure for children playing on the grass.
- The study found that the probability of illness from such exposure ranges from 0.03% to 17%, suggesting that if this risk is deemed unacceptable, changes to flood management plans or public safety measures are necessary.
