A comprehensive overview of stormwater and wastewater collection methods from around the world, written by leading experts

This handbook, written by leading experts, is the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage on the design of stormwater collections systems. The only work of it's kind, this authoritative and inclusive compendium brings you detailed coverage of the latest design methods and tools for analyzing stormwater collection systems. Each chapter provides expert, detailed, professional guidance on the important components of stormwater collection systems.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for stormwater inlets, sewers, both in-line and off-line detention systems, infiltration systems, subsurface detention systems, pump facilities, and many more system components.

*New concepts for the design and implementation of distributed stormwater control and reuse and stormwater treatment using wetland systems are presented

*Specialized procedures for the removal of urban litter abd sediment movement in sewers are featured

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for drainage channels, flow transitions, and energy dissipates

*Many computer models are introduced that can be used in the design of various components of stormwater collection systems

*Water quality aspects of stormwater collections systems design are discussed

*Risk/reliability models for design and analysis are presented

Written by a team of experts, this is the first book to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the safety and security of water supply systems. This unique and authoritative compendium presents detailed coverage of the major infrastructure issues in water system security. Topics range from vulnerability assessment to safeguards against cyber threats to hydraulic network analysis for contamination response. Each chapter provides professional guidance on designing, operating, maintaining, and rehabilitating water systems to ensure state-of-the-art and security.

FEATURES INCLUDE:* Overview of methodologies for reliability analysis and assessment of vulnerability to terrorist attack and for emergency response planning.* Monitoring and modeling methods for early warning systems that enhance security* Specialized remote monitoring equipment, networks, and optimal location of control and isolation valves* Organizational frameworks and procedures for improving the security and safety of water supply systems* Options for emergency preparedness, including water supply for nonconventional times and contamination responses* Case studies from the field: a reconstruction of historical contamination events* Security hardware and surveillance systems

Management tools include decision support systems, optimisation methods, optimal control method, and risk methods.

Water resource management application of the management tolls include irrigation systems, regional water supply systems, river-reservoir systems, groundwater systems, water supply systems.

The Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM) is an emerging approach to managing the entire urban water cycle in an integrated way, which is key to achieving the sustainability of urban water resources and services. An examination of integrated management of water resources in urban settings, this book focuses on issues specific to arid and semi-arid regions. It provides an overview of the various aspects of IUWM in arid and semi-arid regions, emphasizing water supply technologies such as artificial recharge, water transfers, desalination, and rainfall harvesting. The book discusses water excess management in the context of the stormwater and the floodplain management systems. It includes case studies from developed and developing countries that underline the needs and challenges of water management in urban environments in arid and semi-arid regions around the world.
