This book reviews the current state of the art in managing
infrastructure, urban regions, industrial regions and inhabited areas
with respect to flooding and water damage. The author is a well-known
expert in storm water management, and this book gives a broad overview
of the different manageable components that play a role in storm water
risks. It includes chapters on planning infrastructure and regional
development, modifications in urban regions and localities with
buildings and historical buildings, covering different city types and
residential areas, housing and commercial zones, as well as housing
development. The author then goes on to review different hydrological
conditions that make areas safer, or more prone to storm water threats,
and capture and store storm water. The last part of the books covers
sealed infrastructure and their role in storm water hazards, including
roads, public spaces, roofs, and others.
