Design Drainage and Storm Water Management Systems Efficiently
Urban Storm Water Management, Second Edition covers the design,
installation, and maintenance of storm water management systems,
addresses the impact of urban development on runoff and
infiltration, and focuses on storm water management relative to
flooding and water pollution. Recognizing that urbanization
increases and accelerates runoff, reduces infiltration, and
deteriorates water quality, the author proposes storm water runoff
as a resource that can be conserved for reuse. He suggests the
reuse of storm water runoff in general, and rainwater from roofs in
particular, as a cost-effective means to achieve long-term
sustainability. In addition, the book explores green infrastructure
as the future of storm water management, and introduces techniques
that can help reduce the thermal impacts of storm water management
practices. Based on the author's more than thirty years of
experience, this book includes numerous examples and case studies
illustrating the methods and procedures needed to design, maintain,
and understand structural and nonstructural storm water management
systems. It covers every component of the storm water runoff
process, discusses commonly employed runoff models in the United
States, and introduces a physically based model developed by the
author. New in This Edition: Provides an updated presentation of
urbanization's impact on storm water Presents further analysis of
the universal runoff model and the application of this model to
non-uniform rainfalls Offers a more detailed presentation of storm
water management systems, especially bio-filtration basins Includes
a comparative analysis of the effectiveness and costs of best
management practices (BMPs) Adds more than twice as many problems
as before Contains an in-depth discussion of the means of
collecting storm water, such as roof rain for outdoor and certain
indoor uses Urban Storm Water Management covers the design of
various types of structural storm water management systems,
provides new information on storm water management, suggests
alternative solutions to storm water runoff problems, and serves as
an overall resource for practicing engineers and municipal planners
in the design of storm water management elements.
