Effective urban drainage to manage stormwater and control flooding
depends on good engineering, especially when an environmentally
sustainable approach is being applied. This new text focuses on
green methods and modelling techniques. It covers the principles of
hydrology and drainage, low-impact-development (LID) designs,
computer modelling techniques, the evaluation of existing systems,
and planning for both new development and urban renewal. It
outlines design procedures using examples, spreadsheet models,
photos, and real-world design examples. Unlike other books, which
focus on extreme events, this book covers hydrologic designs for
both extreme and frequent events, and reflects the latest
revolution in stormwater LID management, and takes a quantitative
as well as a qualitative approach. PowerPoint (R) presentations and
Excel (R) computer models are provided to follow and build on the
exercises in the book. It is written especially for students on
urban watershed courses, and also for those studying urban
planning, landscaping, water resources, hydrology and hydraulics.
