Abstract

Climate Stress Testing of Drainage Design Standards is an area of active development in smart and resilient infrastructure
engineering, with evidence that has accumulated unevenly across its component questions. We review the current evidence base
for climate stress testing of drainage design standards, spanning methodological, implementation, governance, and cost
dimensions, focusing on where practice has converged and where it continues to vary, and set out the practical considerations
relevant to an agency considering its adoption. We conclude that selective, context-specific use is best supported by the evidence
currently available, rather than uniform adoption or avoidance
