The purpose of this book is to disseminate contemporary knowledge
and practical experiences concerning problems and solutions related
to urban hydrology and drainage. Although the main focus is on
developing countries, the book draws from experiences in many other
parts of the world. Based upon numerous practical examples and case
studies, the book provides information to assist in the management,
planning and engineering design processes. Urban Stormwater
Management in Developing Countries covers a wide range of methods
and approaches to improve the understanding and ability of local
stakeholders to solve stormwater problems within the framework of
integrated urban water management. As well as structural
interventions, the book describes various non-structural approaches
for flood mitigation and pollution control. This book encourages
the reader to adopt an integrated approach towards stormwater
management and considers the importance of institutional
arrangements, participation of local stakeholders in planning, as
well as aspects of financing and cost recovery. This comprehensive
