STORMWATER ENGINEERING HANDBOOK - VOLUME 5
Advanced Modeling, Resilience, Smart Systems and the Future of Stormwater Engineering
How can stormwater engineers move from conventional drainage design toward intelligent, resilient and integrated urban water systems?
Stormwater Engineering Handbook - Volume 5 addresses the advanced engineering challenges facing modern drainage and flood-management professionals.
This final volume of the handbook series takes the reader from sophisticated hydraulic modeling to the emerging technologies and management strategies shaping the future of stormwater engineering.
The book covers:
- Stormwater hydraulic modeling using SWMM and similar tools- 1D, 2D and coupled hydrodynamic flood modeling- Computational Fluid Dynamics in stormwater engineering- Climate change, extreme rainfall and future drainage design- Flood-risk assessment, flood mapping and resilience planning- Smart stormwater systems, IoT, sensors and SCADA- Digital twins, artificial intelligence and machine learning- Predictive stormwater management- Stormwater drainage asset management and maintenance- Integrated stormwater engineering design- Worked design calculations and engineering examples- Culverts, detention ponds, pump stations and green infrastructure- Urban and highway drainage case studies- Sponge cities and water-sensitive urban design- Circular stormwater management- Net-zero drainage infrastructure- Climate-adaptive and blue-green infrastructure- AI-enabled and autonomous drainage concepts
The book emphasizes a practical engineering principle: advanced technology is valuable only when it is connected to sound physical understanding, reliable data, appropriate modeling, verification and engineering judgment.>It also recognizes that modern drainage infrastructure must be designed for its entire lifecycle. Hydraulic performance, constructability, maintenance, asset condition, resilience, environmental performance and future adaptability must be considered together.
For practicing engineers, consultants, infrastructure owners, municipalities, hydraulic modelers, asset managers, researchers and advanced engineering students, this volume provides a comprehensive reference for the next generation of stormwater practice.
From Passive Drainage to Intelligent Water Management
The future stormwater system is not simply a network of pipes and channels.>Hydrology + Hydraulics + Flood Management + Water Quality + Resilience + Digital Engineering + Asset Management + Intelligence
Stormwater Engineering Handbook - Volume 5 provides the framework for understanding that transformation.
