| Presents and Compares All Major Stormwater/Runoff Control Strategies
This new book by leading US stormwater experts is a guide to the main techniques for controlling
pollutants
from diffuse, mainly wet-weather sources. The volume provides a mass of valuable data on
the removal efficiencies,
costs, and design parameters of all main runoff control structures—from ponds
to swales—for large developments
to small parking lots. The book gives planners from the county to
state levels the up-to-date information needed
to incorporate the best and lowest-cost methods of
controlling wet-weather flows into their watershed
management
programs. The book covers all the
essential elements of stormwater control from basic
design issues to monitoring —and provides
critical data on their effectiveness. Covered here are structural,
as well as nonstructural (e.g.,
educational),
techniques. With the information in this book, community water
planners and developers can
implement
the best practices for reducing the environmental impact of wet-
weather flows. The book will help
them
protect—and restore—overall surface- and groundwater quality. |
