Ever increasing urbanization is impacting both the quantity and
quality of urban water resources. These urban water resources and
components of the water cycle are likely to be affected severely.
To minimize the consequences on world water resources, the
development of sustainable water resources management strategies is
inevitable. An integrated urban water resources management strategy
is the key to maintain sustainable water resources. A preliminary
understanding of physio-chemical processes and analysis
methodologies involved in each and every component of the urban
water cycle is necessary. In the past these components have been
investigated and published individually. With the view to aiding
the development of integrated urban water resources management
strategies, this book endeavors to present and explain the major
urban water cycle components from a single holistic platform. The
book presents the introduction, analysis and design methods of a
wide range of urban water components i.e., rainfall, flood,
drainage, water supply and waste water with the additions of
sustainability practices in most of the components. Current
"Hydrology" and "Hydraulics" books do not incorporate
sustainability features and practices, while there are many books
on general "Sustainability" without integrating sustainability
concepts into typical engineering designs. The book starts with
components and classifications of world water resources, then basic
and detailed components of the hydrologic cycle, climate change and
its impacts on hydrologic cycle, rainfall patterns and
measurements, rainfall losses, derivations of design rainfalls,
streamflow measurements, flood frequency analysis and probabilistic
flood estimations, deterministic flood estimations, unit
hydrograph, flood modelling, commercial modelling tools and use of
Geographical Information System (GIS) for flood modelling,
principles of open channel hydraulics, critical flow and flow
classification indices, open channel flow profiles, uniform flow in
open channel and open channel design, estimation of future
population and domestic water demand, design of water supply
systems, sustainable water supply system, water treatments,
wastewater quantification, wastewater treatments, sustainable and
decentralized wastewater treatment, stormwater drainage and urban
drainage analysis, water footprint and water-energy nexus, features
of water conservation, harvesting and recycling, components of
sustainable urban design, stormwater treatment and integrated water
management.
