Stormwater Detention and Infiltration Devices Treating Road Runoff

This book comprises five individual projects involving innovative solutions for the problems facing stormwater management in urban areas, problems like flood attenuation and pollution control. These approaches include belowground stormwater detention systems, stormwater infiltration devices and bio-filtration. The first study ¿The Glasgow Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) Management Project¿ satisfies the first phase of the Glasgow Surface Water Management Project.During the second study, 103 sites within Edinburgh were identified to assess the applicability of SUDS being integrated into future development, regeneration and retrofitting plans.The third study was aimed to assess constraints associated with the planning,design and operation of stormwater infiltration systems, the influence of aquatic plants on water quality and the overall water treatment potential.Next study examined whether multiple regression analysis and neural network models could be applied successfully for the indirect prediction of the runoff treatment performance with water quality indicator variables in an experimental stormwater detention rig.
