The book presents a comprehensive study of the percolation of water
from surface runoff with a focus on the retention capacity and
intensity of precipitation. Discussing the state of the art in
scientific knowledge and solutions for the infiltration of water
from surface runoff, the book addresses a wide variety of rainwater
management issues, from precipitation, surface runoff and water
infiltration, to impact on the drainage system. Although modern
urban hydrology has improved the management of rainwater runoff for
flood protection, public health, and environmental protection,
current methods of drainage in urban areas mean that there is a
continued threat to the regime of water flow and water resources.
In this context, the book presents a new approach to rainwater
management based on a unique fusion of hydrology, hydrogeology,
urban engineering, and water management. It also includes research
findings that are helpful in developing recommendations and
technical guidelines for the use of infiltration systems in urban
areas.
