URBAN STORMWATER AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT GEBUNDEN

This book brings together the experiences of engineers and scientists from Australia and the
United Kingdom providing the current status on the management of stormwater and flooding in
urban areas and suggesting ways forward. It forms a basis for the development of a framework
for the implementation of integrated and optimised storm water management strategies and aims
to mitigate the adverse impacts of the expanding urban water footprint. Among other topics it
also features management styles of stormwater and flooding and describes biodiversity and
ecosystem services in relation to the management of stormwater and the mitigation of floods.
Furthermore  it places an emphasis on sustainable storm water management measures. Population
growth  urbanisation and climate change will pose significant challenges to engineers 
scientists  medical practitioners  policy makers and practitioners of several other
disciplines. If we consider environmental and water engineers  they will have to face
challenges in designing smart and efficient water systems which are robust and resilient to
overcome shrinking green spaces  increased urban heat islands  damages to natural waterways due
to flooding caused by increased stormwater flow. This work provides valuable information for
practitioners and students at both senior undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
