Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Larry W. Mays is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Arizona State University where he was the chair of the department. He was formerly Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas at Austin where he also held an Engineering Foundation Endowed Professorship. A registered engineer in seven states and a professional hydrologist, he has served as a consultant to many organizations. Professor Mays is author of Water Resources Engineering (John Wily & Sons) and Optimal Control of Hydrosystems (Marcel Dekker), co-author of Applied Hydrology and Hydrosystems Engineering and Mangement (both from McGraw-Hill) and editor-in-chief of the Water Resources Handbook, Hydraulic Design Handbook, Water Distribution Systems Handbook, Stormwater Collection Systems Design Handbook, and the Urban Water Supply Handbook (all from McGraw-Hill). The Urban Water Supply Handbook received the 2002 Honorable Mention in Engineering Award given by the Association of American Publishers. He is also editor-in-chief of Reliability Analysis of Water Distribution Systems (ASCE) and co-editor of Computer Modeling of Free Surface and Pressurized Flow (Kluwer Academic Publishers).

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This handbook, written by leading experts, is the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage on the design of stormwater collections systems. The only work of it's kind, this authoritative and inclusive compendium brings you detailed coverage of the latest design methods and tools for analyzing stormwater collection systems. Each chapter provides expert, detailed, professional guidance on the important components of stormwater collection systems.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for stormwater inlets, sewers, both in-line and off-line detention systems, infiltration systems, subsurface detention systems, pump facilities, and many more system components.

*New concepts for the design and implementation of distributed stormwater control and reuse and stormwater treatment using wetland systems are presented

*Specialized procedures for the removal of urban litter abd sediment movement in sewers are featured

*Design procedures and detailed examples are presented for drainage channels, flow transitions, and energy dissipates

*Many computer models are introduced that can be used in the design of various components of stormwater collection systems

*Water quality aspects of stormwater collections systems design are discussed

*Risk/reliability models for design and analysis are presented
