Synopses & Reviews
This Water Environment Federation Manual of Practice presents the latest standard methods for urban stormwater runoff management and control
Design of Urban Stormwater Controls, Second Edition summarizes current practice of stormwater management in urban environments. This Manual of Practice reviews: the effects of uncontrolled runoff on receiving waters; the principles and practices of stormwater management; the institutional framework for stormwater management program implementation; design of runoff controls; cost and maintenance of those controls; methodologies for performance assessment; and analytical tools for design and evaluation.
Design of Urban Stormwater Controls
- Represents the collected background and experience of professionals active in the evaluation and rehabilitation of urban runoff controls
- Includes financial, social, legal, and environmental aspects
- Discusses regulatory issues
- Lists SI units as primary units and U.S. customary units secondary
- Summarizes basic stormwater management practice principles
Authoritative coverage:
Introduction; Impacts of Stormwater on Receiving Waters; Stormwater Management Programs; Processes for Runoff Control; Selection Criteria and Design Considerations; Basins; Swales and Strips; Filters; Infiltrators; Gross Pollutant Traps and Mechanical Operations; Maintenance of Stormwater Controls; Whole Life Cost of Stormwater Controls; Performance Assessment; Analytical Tools for Simulation of Stormwater Controls

Design of Urban Stormwater Controls
promotes the protection of urban water resources by controlling stormwater runoff. Fully updated to address the paradigm shift in the way stormwater is viewed and managed, this Manual of Practice focuses on consolidating technologies to foster a convergence between traditional stormwater controls and green infrastructure. This authoritative resource explains how systems of stormwater controls can be designed to meet multidisciplinary objectives, including flood control; stream channel protection; groundwater recharge; water quality improvement; protection of public safety, health, and welfare; and multipurpose public benefits.
Topics include: effects of stormwater on receiving waters; performance goals for stormwater controls; unit processes and operations for stormwater control; selection criteria and design considerations; swales and strips; basins; filters and infiltrators; gross pollutant traps and mechanical operations; maintenance of stormwater controls; performance assessment; and analytical tools for simulation of stormwater controls.
This new Manual of Practice replaces Urban Runoff Quality Management, MOP 87/WEF FD-23 (1998).

About the Author
The WEF Technical Practice Committee (formerly the Committee on Sewage and Industrial Wastes Practice of the Federation of Sewage and Industrial Wastes Associations) was created by the Federation Board of Control on October 11, 1941. The primary function of the Committee is to originate and produce, through appropriate subcommittees, special publications dealing with technical aspects of the broad interests of the Federation. These publications are intended to provide background information through a review of technical practices and detailed procedures that research and experience have shown to be functional and practical.
