Publisher's Synopsis
The objectives of this project are to document the performance and whole-life costs of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). These two terms refer to stormwater practices implemented in the U.S. and UK to reduce the impact of urbanization.
- The lack of data on operational performance (in connection with both water quantity and quality management)
- A need to better understand future financial liabilities associated with the widespread adoption of these facilities
- The need to improve confidence in BMPs/SUDS techniques to facilitate appropriate regulation and adoption.
