A useful, interdisciplinary engineering approach to urban hydrology.
Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater Quality offers a
unique, integrated engineering approach to controlling and managing the water
resources of cities and urban communities. By addressing hydrologic analysis
in the urban environ-ment, using physically based methods, and focusing on stormwater
quality, this interdisciplinary approach presents all aspects of urban hydrology
more closely to real-world practice than traditional hydrology books.
With an emphasis on application, this cutting-edge guide thoroughly covers urban
watershed management, urban hydraulic systems, and overall stormwater management,
complete with logic-driven questions reinforcing the fundamental, qualitative,
quantitative, and extended application concepts discussed in each chapter. Relying
heavily on numerical techniques addressed throughout the book, two of the most
widely used computer modeling programs in the industry are presented:
- The Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS model
- The Environmental Protection Agency SWMM model
Urban Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Stormwater Quality is a handy
resource for students in civil engineering, and profes-sional civil engineers,
hydrologists, and urban planners, as well as environmental engineers, attorneys,
regulators, and adminis-trators.
