Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latest developments of urban hydrology and hydraulic design procedures for storm water management.Drainage planning is an approach that integrates both local and regional efforts to identify drainage conveyance and storage facilities based on hydrologic optimization and cost minimization individually and collectively. In general, the first six chapters cover the hydrologic procedures for rainfall and runoff predictions, and the next 12 chapters focus on hydraulic designs of urban channel, culvert, street inlet, sewer drain, detention basin, retention basin, infiltration basin, low impact designs, and storm water modeling techniques by various routing methods.Hydrology analyses are lengthy in calculation and repetitive in procedure. As a result, Excel Spreadsheet is the most useful and handy tool for hydraulic and hydrologic designs. This book includes 18 sets of spreadsheets developed for 18 subjects. With these spreadsheets, it is easy for the reader to conduct sensitivity tests. Many of the design methods documented in this book have been adopted as the recommended design procedure by Denver, Las Vegas, and Sacramento metropolitan areas in the United States. Based on these methods, there are many design computer models that have been developed and supported by the Denver metro governments for stormwater design purposes.

Download or read book Urban Hydrology Watershed Management and Socio Economic Aspects written by Arup K. Sarma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book brings together high-quality research articles on advanced hydrological analysis, advanced computational methods, and the ecological and sociological aspects of urban watershed management under one umbrella. The rapid pace of urbanization, not accompanied by any farsighted, holistic plan, has reduced many cities in the developing world into multi-hazard areas. The most perceptible consequence of urbanization is the change in land-use and land cover, which in turn impacts hydrological systems. Accordingly, scientific studies on urban hydrology with due emphasis on ecological and sociological aspects under changing climate are vital to the appropriate design of urban landscapes and civil infrastructure works. This book addresses precisely these issues, offering a useful guide for environmentalists, hydrologists, and a broad range of socio-economic scientists exploring the environmental vulnerabilities arising from urbanization.

Download or read book Urban Hydrology written by Roger Betson and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the project was to study urban watersheds as a complex system. The approach was to use mathematical models that could adjust for the major causes of variation in the system. The models used had been developed earlier using hydrologic data obtained from rural watersheds. These models were designed to be used in planning and regionalized so that model parameters can be predicted based upon site characteristics and thus the models applied at ungaged sites. A goal of this project was to extend the capabilities of these hydrologic models to include the effects of urbanization and to include water quality as a component.
Download or read book Urbanization under a Changing Climate written by Jianxun He and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the increasing urbanization, advances in the science of urban hydrology have improved urban water system management, creating more livable cities in which public safety and health, as well as the environment, are protected. The ultimate goal of urban water management is to mimic the hydrological cycle prior to urbanization. On top of urbanization, climate change, which has been demonstrated to alter the hydrological cycle in all respects, has introduced additional challenges to managing urban water systems. To mitigate and adapt to urbanization under a changing climate, understanding key hydrologic components should expand to include complex issues brought forth by climate change. Thus, effective and efficient measures can be formulated. This Special Issue of Water presents a variety of research papers that span a range of spatial and temporal scales of relevance in different societies’ efforts in adapting to the eminent changes in climate and the continuous changes in the landscape. From mitigating water quality in permeable pavements and bioretention swales to understanding changes in groundwater recharge in large regions, this Special Issue examines the state-of-the-art in sustainable urban design for adaptation and resiliency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of the Soil Conservation Services (SCS) urban hydrology techniques is made to four watersheds. The parameters of the methods are obtained from standard SCS guidance and from calibration of watershed model HEC-1 using the SCS method. A modified method of determining these parameters is also recommended to SCS. Runoff parameters are then used with design storms to illustrate the differences in frequency curves which may result.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decades the world has witnessed a growing number of floods in urban areas. Climate change and rapid urbanization will exacerbate this trend. Flooding incidents in urbanized catchments and low-lying areas, such as polders, can lead to great public concern and anxiety, and their economical impact is severe. Apart from well-known flood prevention strategies, new approaches to the accommodation of floods are needed to create robust and sustainable solutions that enable us to cope with the ever-increasing urban pressure on flood-prone areas and the uncertainties created by climate change. Urban Flood Management comprises a multidisciplinary survey of recent developments in this field. Subjects like spatial and urban planning, flood insurance, flood resilience, flood proofing techniques, risk perception and preparedness and flood forecasting are treated by authorities from Brazil, India, the USA and Europe. Urban Flood Management will provide anyone active in the fields of water, risk and urban management with the latest information and insights that were obtained with a global and multidisciplinary approach.
