Urban Drainage Practice provides detailed guidance and practical advice on the design, operation, planning, management and maintenance principles required to address all major urban drainage issues.
With the recent flooding incidents in the UK and internationally, and the UK government recommendations following the recent Pitt Review, this is a very topical issue.
Each chapter features an illustrative case study that will appeal to practitioners, and the text has a strong practical focus throughout.
Providing comprehensive coverage of the subject from an author and contributors who are well-recognised in the field in both practice and education, Urban Drainage Practice is of relevance to local authority engineers, drainage design and operation engineers (in the wider water industry) and consultants or contractors working in this field
