Flood Mitigation Techniques Using Storm Water Harvesting Methods: A Bibliometric Analysis

ABSTRACT

This paper tries to breakdown 12 years of research on storm water harvesting systems that can aid in flood mitigation by methodically evaluating the existing literature and identifying relevant research gaps. Bibliometric co-citation meta-analysis is used to understand decentralized storm water harvesting methods that can aid in flood management. 165 articles from multiple disciplines in scopus database are used in this study to identify literature pertaining to flood mitigation techniques using storm water harvesting methods. Further these articles where analyzed for their scientific productivity, relevance and collaboration. Also the VOS viewer software and Bibliometrix R Package software were employed for visualization. The results of this study revealed that most of such studies focus on urban context. Thus, the study offers academics and practitioners a pertinent multidisciplinary platform for research on urban water security and encourages the growth of further knowledge on this subject.
