Urban Stormwater Management Planning with Analytical Probabilistic Models

Understanding how to properly manage urban stormwater is a critical concern to civil and environmental engineers the world over. Mismanagement of stormwater and urban runoff results in flooding, erosion, and water quality problems. In an effort to develop better management techniques, engineers have come to rely on computer simulation and advanced mathematical modeling techniques to help plan and predict water system performance. This important book outlines a new method that uses probability tools to model how stormwater behaves and interacts in a combined– or single–system municipal water system. Complete with sample problems and case studies illustrating how concepts really work, the book presents a cost–effective, easy–to–master approach to analytical modeling of stormwater management systems.
