Urban water management has to take an integrated approach that
prioritizes sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) over gray
infrastructure. This book elaborates on the planning and evaluation of
pipework drainage systems with a focus on modern-day constraints to
deliver a solution that favors sustainability as the overarching goal.
The book includes a technical section on design of gray and green
infrastructure, considering the total lifecycle costs of drainage
systems. Advanced computer simulation techniques are discussed after
covering the derivation of both standard and empirical equations for
appropriate hydrology and hydraulics. The book provides an
incorporation of reliability analyses for both green and gray
infrastructure starting with techniques for forecasting flows,
hydraulic performance, and lifecycle costs. The work also involves 3-D
modeling, geospatial and big data analysis, and how these techniques
are applied into city management—particularly beneficial to
municipal engineers who are increasingly becoming involved in mapping
the underground. Soil mechanics and subsurface drainage systems are
analyzed and structural aspects of sewers are included. Finally, soil
behavior in shear, retaining wall structures, and tunneling is briefly
featured in the book. This book will be of interest to (under)graduate
and postgraduate engineering students, drainage engineers, urban
planners, architects, water engineers, developers, construction
contractors, and municipal engineers.
