Urban drainage redefined: from stormwater removal to integrated management.

摘要: Even though urban drainage has been practised for more than 5000 years, many challenges arising from growing demands on still remain with respect to runoff quantity and quality; landscape aesthetics, ecology beneficial uses; operation of existing wastewater systems. Further advances can be achieved by adopting an integrated approach, optimal the infrastructure, advanced pollution source controls, improved resilience receiving waters, adaptive water management. The specific research needs include new technologies strategies stormwater management, treatment wet-weather effluents, tools analysis High diversity on, region/site conditions of, shapes role experts – as mediators among stakeholders fields involved.
