Abstract

Due to the acceleration of global climate change and urbanization, many coastal cities are facing an increasing risk of flooding due to the interaction of multiple climatic factors. Urban flooding will not only threaten the safety of the people but also lead to flood invasion into rail space. Taking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area as an example, this paper studies the flooding risks caused by different flood-causing water. The results show that the rainfall tends to be enhanced and concentrated; storm surges are becoming more frequent and spatially focused; sea level is on a constant upward trend. The above factors will further exacerbate the risk of urban waterlogging in the future. On the other hand, the river runoff did not change significantly; the response time of groundwater is generally greater than 80 days. Therefore, river runoff and groundwater did not cause obvious urban waterlogging risks.
