Campecheis a city located at the Gulf of Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula. The rapid growth of thecity is one of the reasons it is having troubles with the water and flood management of severalareas throughout the city. Although the municipality has already executed some improvementsto the drainage system during the last years, it is still lacking to cope with heavy rainfall andstorm surges due to hurricanes at several areas in the city.In order to gain a better understanding of the location and the way it works in Campeche alocation, stakeholder and political analysis have been performed. Boundary conditions, programrequirements and preferences have been formulated based on this analysis. By examininghurricanes over the last decades, a hurricane has been simulated with an occurrence of once inthe fifty years. In the situation characterisation the city has been divided into several catchmentareas to determine their vulnerability (expressed in total amount of water accumulation), takinginto account the capacity of the current drainage system in the event of such a hurricane.Four solutions have been chosen to elaborate. In this elaboration, calculations have been performed on the design and construction. For the implementation of the options suitable locationshave been determined and the possibilities and risks have been defi ned.In order to test the elaborated solutions on socioeconomic factors in combination with ecology,safety and politics, a multi-criteria analysis has been performed. It can be concluded that alloptions differ a lot from each other. Every option tackles another side of the problem andtherefore they score on totally different aspects. In the discussion, it is further elaborated whatthe supplementary advantages and disadvantages of the proposed solutions are. Using this, theintegral system of water management measures is considered.A few fields can be found on which could be made an improvement in the future. Firstly,the political system requires short term measures to count on enough support. Besides, citizensshould be kept informed and have to be made aware of the flooding problem. Drainage expansionneeds to take place in order to relief the most crucial parts in the city from their excess of waterduring extreme weather conditions. Lastly, when expanding the city, the amount of green spaceand inundation risks of the concerning area should be always kept in mind.
