The ratio of the storage and discharge capacities of the subsystems determines the performance. The performance of the urban water system may deteriorate as a result of the change in the ratio of storage to discharge capacity due to aging, urbanisation and climate change. We developed the graph-based weakest link method (GBWLM) to analyse urban drainage systems. Flow path analysis from graph theory is applied instead of hydrodynamic model simulations to reduce the computational effort. This makes it practically feasible to analyse urban drainage systems with multi-decade rainfall series. We used the GBWLM to analyse the effect of urban water system aging and\/or climate scenarios on flood extent and frequency. The case study shows that the results of the hydrodynamic models and the GBWLM are similar. The rainfall intensities of storm events are expected to increase by approximately 20% in the Netherlands due to climate change. For the case study, such an increase in load has little impact on the flood frequency and extent caused by gully pots and surface water. However, it could lead to a 50% increase in the storm sewer flood frequency and an increase in the extent of flooding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2166\/wst.2023.057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]],"date-time":"2023-02-27T17:10:30Z","timestamp":1677517830000},"page":"1273-1293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2166\/iwapcrossmarkpolicypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["A method to identify the weakest link in urban drainage systems"],"prefix":"10.2166","volume":"87","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1747-0581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Didrik","family":"Meijer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"a Deltares, Boussinesqweg 1, 2629 HV Delft, Postbus 177 2600 MH, Delft, The Netherlands"},{"name":"b Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, Stevinweg 1, 2628 CN, Delft, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Korving","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"a Deltares, Boussinesqweg 1, 2629 HV Delft, Postbus 177 2600 MH, Delft, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeroen","family":"Langeveld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"b Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, Stevinweg 1, 2628 CN, Delft, The Netherlands"},{"name":"c Partners4urbanwater, Graafseweg 274, 6532 ZV, Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Clemens-Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"d Faculty of Engineering, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Norwegian University of Science & Technology, H\u00f8gskoleringen 6, 7491, Trondheim, Norway"},{"name":"e SkillsInMotion B.V., Esdoornlaan 11, 3454 HH, Utrecht, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"945","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024072317313783500_WST-D-22-01164C1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"88","DOI":"10.1016\/j.envsoft.2013.12.018","article-title":"A critical review of integrated urban water modelling \u2013 urban drainage and beyond","volume":"54","year":"2014","journal-title":"Environmental Modelling & Software"},{"key":"2024072317313783500_WST-D-22-01164C2","unstructured":"Beersma\n            J.\n          , HakvoortH., JilderdaR., OvereemA. & VersteegR.2019Neerslagstatistiek en -reeksen voor het waterbeheer 2019 [Rainfall Statistics and Series for Water Management 2019] (STOWA Report No. 2019-19).
