This new edition of a well-established textbook covers the environmental
and engineering aspects of the management of rainwater and wastewater in
areas of human development. Urban Drainage deals comprehensively not
only with the design of new systems, but also the analysis and upgrading
of existing infrastructure. Keeping its balance of principles, practice
and research, this new edition has significant new material on
modelling, resilience, smart systems, and the global and local context.
The two new authors bring further research and practice-based
experience.
This is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students,
lecturers and researchers in water engineering, environmental
engineering, public health engineering, engineering hydrology, and
related non-engineering disciplines. It also serves as a dependable
reference for drainage engineers in water service providers, local
authorities, and for consulting engineers. Extensive examples are used
to support and demonstrate the key issues throughout the text.
