Abstract
The paper deals with assessment of the existing storm sewer system of the Prishtina airport area in Kosovo. Frequent flooding of the airport area occurred recently and the activities in flood assessment and flood protection design were undertaken. First step in achieving flood risk assessment is data collection. Since the region recently was in war conflict it was not an easy task to obtain necessary data. Availability, suitability and quality of hydrological, meteorological, topographic and management data is discussed. Some results obtained by hydrological analysis of the maximum runoff flows with different probability, as well as the results obtained by hydraulic modeling of the existing drainage system are presented. Flood risk maps have been created, flood risk analysis was preformed and measures against flooding of the runway were proposed. Furthermore, the importance of applying proper methodologies in flood analysis in storm sewer systems is also discussed. Maintenance of the existing system and establishing early warning, prediction and forecasting is extremely important in evaluating flood risk assessment and flood risk management.Keywordsflood risk assessmentwatershedrunoffstorm drainage systemculvertflood mappinghydraulic modeling
