Urban Flood Mitigation and Stormwater Management

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.\nUnlike 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.\nPowerPoint® presentations and Excel® 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.

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: <ul> <li>presents the theory and practice of designing and building a stormwater system</li> <li>explains green approaches to designing and managing urban stormwater systems.</li> </ul> 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.

The objective of street stormwater drainage design is to warrant efficient and safe traffic movements during the severe storm events. This book is dedicated to the latest developments in: (a) new concepts to analyze the urban catchment hydrology for storm runoff predictions, (b) innovative methods to estimate the street allowable capacities to convey storm runoff, and (c) useful computer models to simulate flow movements in inlets and sewers.
• An excellent textbook for senior designs in Civil Engineering • A useful technical book for Public Works and Urban Infrastructure, • Good reviews of street hydraulics for Urban Drainage • Revised Rational Method for urban catchment analysis, • New concepts of street flow modeling with consideration of safety, • Improved methods for street inlet sizing and storm sewer designs, and • Efficient computer programming and models for sewer system flow analyses, and • Excel tools using Excel spreadsheets and workbook approaches.
