This book addresses the latest research advances innovations and applications in the field of
urban drainage and water management as presented by leading researchers scientists and
practitioners from around the world at the 11th International Conference on Urban Drainage
Modelling (UDM) held in Palermo Italy from 23 to 26 September 2018. The conference was
promoted and organized by the University of Palermo Italy and the International Working Group
on Data and Models with the support of four of the world's leading organizations in the water
sector: the International Water Association (IWA) International Association for
Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) Environmental & Water Resources Institute
(EWRI) - ASCE and the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society (iEMSs). The
topics covered are highly diverse and include drainage and impact mitigation water quality
rainfall in urban areas urban hydrologic and hydraulic processes tools techniques and
analysis in urban drainage modelling modelling interactions and integrated systems transport
and sewer processes (incl. micropollutants and pathogens) and water management and climate
change. The conference's primary goal is to offer a forum for promoting discussions amongst
scientists and professionals on the interrelationships between the entire water cycle
environment and society.
