Includes bibliographical references. Rural-urban migrations have contributed to the steady increase in the population of Cape Town. Many of the migrants have settled in informal settlements because they cannot afford to rent or buy decent housing. Many of these settlements are however located on marginal and often poorly drained land. Consequently, most of these settlements are prone to flooding after prolonged rainfall. Current flood risk management techniques implemented by the authorities of the Cape Town City Council (CTCC) are ideal for formally planned settlements but are not designed to support informal settlements...This study sought to investigate a methodology that the CTCC could use to improve flood risk assessment. 2015-01-14T07:14:46Z 2015-01-14T07:14:46Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12155 eng application/pdf Department of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
