Author Description

According to the National Resources Defense Council, throughout the United States stormwater runoff rivals or exceeds discharges form factories and sewage plants as a source of pollution. The U.S. EPA identifies urban stormwaters as the second largest source of water quality damage in estuaries and a significant contributor to the damage to lakes, rivers, and bays. Based on seminars presented by international experts for the EPA, Wet-Weather Flow in the Urban Watershed: Technology and Management covers a broad spectrum of urban wet-weather flow management and pollution abatement topics. The topics covered will assist municipal engineers, consultants, and academic researchers with design, cost, and water quality issues.
