Urban Drainage, Third Edition

The drainage of rainwater and wastewater from areas of human development has both environmental and engineering aspects. This book deals comprehensively not only with the design of new systems, but also the analysis and upgrading of existing infrastructure, and the environmental issues involved.

---

Urban Drainage has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect changes in the practice and priorities of urban drainage. New and expanded coverage includes:








Sewer flooding
The impact of climate change
Flooding models
The move towards sustainability








Providing a descriptive overview of the issues involved as well as the engineering principles and analysis, it draws on real-world examples as well as models to support and demonstrate the key issues facing engineers dealing with drainage issues. It also deals with both the design of new drainage systems and the analysis and upgrading of existing infrastructure.


This is a unique and essential textbook for students of water, environmental, and public health engineering as well as a valuable resource for practising engineers.
