Urban management in any context has a different economic, social and political structure, which is in harmony with the existing models of organization. In spite of these differences, in order to reach a sustainable urban development, several different conferences should be referred to. In the “Brundtland Commission 1987” about urban sustainable development these definitions have been given: “pr...
THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Modelling of Substance Flows in Urban Drainage Systems
Stormwater is recognised as a large contributor of toxic substances to receiving waters. Different measures to manage stormwater quality have been proposed, including structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs). Computer models have become useful tools for the analysis, evaluation and design of these BMPs. The main objective of this study was to develop a modelling framework ...
Stormwater management using water sensitive urban design is expected to be part of future drainage systems. This paper aims to model the combination of local retention units, such as soakaways, with subsurface detention units. Soakaways are employed to reduce (by storage and infiltration) peak and volume stormwater runoff; however, large retention volumes are required for a significant peak red...
The Etowah River basin in Georgia, USA, supports nine imperiled fish species that are the object of protection under the proposed Etowah Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). With urban land cover steadily increasing in the basin at the expense of forest and agricultural land cover, development-related activities and their consequences appear, as a group, to be the major threat to the species. Howev...
Stormwater is a major source of Escherichia coli in urban waterways. This study assessed the chemical and bacterial contaminant load in stormwater entering an urban river using chemical analyses, E. coli enumeration and antibiotic resistance testing. Inline monitoring of five major stormwater outfalls revealed that E. coli concentrations can range from 100 to >240,000 CFU 100ml(-1) in stormwate...
1. The world’s population is increasingly urban, and streams and rivers, as the low lying points of the landscape, are especially sensitive to and profoundly impacted by the changes associated with urbanization and suburbanization of catchments. 2. River restoration is an increasingly popular management strategy for improving the physical and ecological conditions of degraded urban streams. In ...
It is becoming increasingly accepted that the conventional approach to urban water resources management (WRM) is unsustainable and that securing urban water supplies for both anthropogenic and environmental uses requires a different approach. Water sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a holistic approach that seeks to integrate the management of the potable water, stormwater and wastewater cycles t...
