Description

This practical book gives guidance on the planning, design, construction and maintenance of storage reservoirs for flood control in partly urbanised catchment areas. It explains in detail the hydrological procedures for flood estimating and flood routing assocated with their design and provides comprehensive information on detailed design aspects. The potential nature conservation and recreational benefits of these facilities are also discussed, along with guidance on appropriate environmental design features. Water quality and operational aspects are also discussed.
