Description
All aspects of municipal storm water management - from planning and institutional concerns to technical design considerations - are covered in this book. Topics in planning and institutional concerns focus on programs dealing with public awareness, ordinances and regulations, financing, master planning, and water quality management. Technical design topics range from the practical aspects of hydrologic procedures to the design of culverts and storm drainage systems. Water quality aspects of best management practices are well documented. This stand-alone document provides essential information for the design and analysis of most storm water management facilities. The material and depth of coverage make this book a perfect text for academic as well as professional use.
