Managing stormwater flow is a particular challenge in urban environments. "Urban Stormwater Management Tools" details the design of basins and detection systems, covers subsurface and wetland issues, and presents a complete methodology for regulating sewer overflow. It includes methods for: hydrologically and hydraulically analyzing storm water systems; designing storm water inlets, storm sewers, detention systems and infiltration basins; learning about design methods ranging from the rational method to advanced simulation and optimization methods for sewer systems; integrating operations and management considerations into designs; and, performing risk/reliability analysis of stormwater systems.

Review
Mays (civil and environmental engineering, Arizona State University)presents material on the design of basins and detection systems for managing stormwater flow in urban environments and on subsurface and wetland issues, and provides a complete methodology for regulating sewer overflow. Coverage encompasses hydrology and hydraulics forexcess water management, design of stormwater inlets,hydraulics of sewer systems, design of detention systems, design of infiltration basins for stormwater, and risk/reliability models for design. The book is a reference for engineers, managers, operators, and analysts involved with various aspects of urban stormwater systems. (Sci-Tech Book News )
