Hydraulic Design Model: Runoff Control for Urban Stormwater Management

The book "Hydraulic Design Model: Runoff Control for Urban Stormwater Management" offers a comprehensive analysis of source control for stormwater runoff through the application of the concept of stormwater management (Low Impact Development, LID). It particularly focuses on the implementation of underground bioretention systems, which are becoming increasingly important in urban areas with limited permeable surfaces. These systems can be installed under sidewalks, parking lots, and within property boundaries to retain a certain percentage of runoff during a design storm. The application of these models can help reduce the risk of flooding and erosion in lower areas. The book provides valuable insights into the planning and adaptation of bioretention systems of all sizes and depths, depending on the conditions of the stormwater channels.
