| Summary: | Written and edited by leading experts in the field, ICE Handbook of Urban Drainage Practice provides an overview of current key challenges, opportunities and future directions of urban drainage in a practical and accessible way. Initially setting out the context of historical urban drainage for sanitary and stormwater systems, the book covers the key elements of public and stakeholder engagement, rainfall inputs, some fundamentals of urban hydrology and the development of computational modelling. It also explains how systems are now planned, designed and operated, alongside contemporary asset management and introduces the main elements of monitoring and management of urban drainage systems, as well as advancements in data acquisition, and transition to greater automation. The book summarises regulations and other sources of information that professionals need to consult to practice effectively within a specific area of urban drainage explores modelling, sustainability, smart systems, and the global and local context of sustainable drainage includes case studies from across the UK and numerous examples of urban drainage practice from around the world. Urban Drainage Practice is an invaluable tool for local authority engineers, environmental engineers, drainage design and operation engineers, public health consultants, engineering hydrology professionals, and consultants or contractors working in this field. It is also a useful resource for students of engineering and sustainability, as well as professionals working in other disciplines who wish to understand how engineers are approaching urban drainage practice. |
