MOP 95 offers detailed information regarding the planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems in urban areas.
In a single volume, Standards ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 12-13, 13-13, and 14-13 establish the guidelines for design, installation, and operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage systems.
Standards ANSI/ASCE 12-92, ASCE 13-93, & ASCE 14-93 provide guidelines for design, installation, operation, and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage.
This collection contains 91 papers presented at a specialty symposium on urban drainage modeling at the World Water and Environmental Resources Congress, held in Orlando, Florida, May 20-24, 2001.
The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
* A comprehensive overview of stormwater and wastewater collection methods from around the world, written by leading experts in the field * Includes detailed analysis of system designs, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation * The most complete reference available on the subject
The main objectives of the manual are to advance the understanding of complex interactions between urban drainage and other facets of urban water resources, to increase the awareness of various planning alternatives , to aid in the selection of appropriate calculation procedures to demonstrate the importance of input and supporting data, to guide the decision-makers and designers in implementation of urban drainage projects, and to increase awareness of pitfalls of drainage planning.
