This study proposes and evaluates different modelling strategies within large-scale urban drainage models, exploring simplified approaches for roof geometry and roof-to-manhole connections. The results indicate that, regardless of the methodology used to estimate roof width, the differences become negligible if the discharge point is distant. Additionally, for a contributing area of roofs discharging upstream to a manhole, the method of roof-to-manhole connection does not have a significant influence, which demonstrates the potential of these strategies to streamline the modelling process without compromising the reliability of the simulations. The findings highlight the feasibility of applying these modelling strategies in situations where data completeness is not feasible, offering a balanced solution between model complexity and accuracy.engAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 Españahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/RoofData completeness2D-1D dual drainageIberSWMMpreprintopen access
