This edition of Urban Drainage provides updated insights into rainwater and wastewater management, focusing on design, analysis, and smart urban solutions.
This new edition addresses the crucial aspects of rainwater and wastewater management, focusing on both the analysis and design of drainage systems. Urban Drainage explores the integration of principles, practice, and research, offering fresh insights into modeling, risk assessment, and smart urban drainage solutions. It emphasizes the importance of understanding both global and local contexts to effectively manage urban water systems.
In this comprehensive update, Urban Drainage not only outlines the design of new drainage systems but also delves into the analysis and upgrading of existing infrastructure. The inclusion of two new authors enhances the text with additional research and practical experience, ensuring that readers are equipped with the latest knowledge in the field. Key topics such as resilience and smart systems are thoroughly examined, reflecting the evolving nature of urban drainage management.
This essential resource is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as lecturers and researchers in water engineering, environmental engineering, and related fields. It serves as a reliable reference for drainage engineers working with water service providers and local authorities. Throughout the text, extensive examples illustrate critical issues, making it an invaluable tool for both academic and professional audiences.
"Urban Drainage continues to evolve to reflect changing constraints and current approaches to best drainage practice so it remains the pre-eminent text on the subject. It provides exceptionally comprehensive coverage of all aspects of urban drainage which can’t be found elsewhere in a single text, including the basics of hydrology, hydraulics, water quality, design, modelling, construction, operation as well as important advice on how urban water management can become more sustainable and resilient.
This is the book I always take off the shelf first when I have any query relating to urban drainage, and it just got even better."
-- Richard Fenner, University of Cambridge
"I read the entire book when it was in its first edition and found it to be a very useful reference that covered both combined and separate sewerage systems. Now in its fourth edition, I think this is a comprehensive textbook that I would recommend to anyone studying or practising in the field of urban drainage."
-- Simon Beecham, University of South Australia
"The greatest assets are the comprehensiveness and incorporation of the latest information. At the same time, this information is delivered in a very readable and succinct manner (500 + pages), without losing the rigour of discussion of fundamental concepts."
-- Jiri Marsalek, Environment and Climate Change Canada
"This is an excellent book covering a wide range of issues and examples relevant to urban drainage. I am particularly pleased to see that this new edition contains enhanced consideration of wider environmental issues relevant not only to urban drainage but to urban environments as a whole.... I consider this the best text available right now for UK drainage design and practice. "
