Publisher's Synopsis
This proceedings includes 36 papers presented at the Engineering Foundation Conference held in Malmo, Sweden, September 7-12, 1997. The conference brought together 90 international experts in engineering, sciences, planning, land development, and landscape architecture to create solutions to problems associated with stormwater management programs that sustain and enhance the urban water environment. More than 25 case studies describe successful sustainable urban water resources projects from around the world. Many technical papers focus on cases where a municipal or private development project resulted in a clearly demonstrable improvement in urban water resource. Others address the science and technology of urban runoff flow and quality management practices. Details of how the projects were designed and implemented within the context of the regulatory environment, and engineering and natural sciences are detailed, as well as design guidelines for stormwater management facilities.
