Urban Drainage and Storage Practices focuses on the latest
developments in urban stormwater design methods using drainage and
storage approaches for both water quality and quantity control. It
covers both the conventional approaches to flood mitigation and
low-impact methods for stormwater quality enhancement. Theory,
practice, and modeling methods are presented to illustrate how to
build a holistic stormwater drainage and storage system using urban
open space and parks through multiple land use. Each chapter
provides background theory, numerical experiments, illustrations,
and Excel spreadsheets that outline design and calculation
procedures. All urban watersheds are modeled as a series of
cascading planes to drain stormwater from upstream roofs and
parking lots onto downstream grass areas and vegetal beds. The
drainage system is designed as a three-layer cascading system with
various low-impact units for micro events, conveyance elements for
minor events, and storage facilities for macro events. This book:
presents the theory and practice of designing and building a
stormwater system explains green approaches to designing and
managing urban stormwater systems. This text is ideal for senior
and graduate students studying urban hydrology, hydraulic
engineering, and water resource management. It will also be useful
for engineers requiring a technical book with hands-on practical
examples.
