Urban Storm Drainage

About this book

Storm drainage is rapidly becoming a central issue in urban planning and management, particularly in view of the scale, physical and economic, of urban storm drainage (USD) programmes. This volume aims to combine the highest quality work and the best coverage of all important aspects of the joint IAHR/IAWQ International Conference on Urban Storm Drainage. Topics covered include rainfall/runoff processes, characterization of combined sewage, impacts on receiving waters and remedial measures, and the modelling, control and management of urban storm drainage systems.
