Existing urban drainage infrastructure is heavily reliant on current guidelines that govern how infrastructure systems are designed to withstand the potential risk of flooding. However, climate change and an increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have cast doubt on the current methodology and standards for designing urban drainage infrastructure systems.

This groundbreaking book, authored by a leading expert in the field, delves into the crucial intersection of urban planning, climate resilience, and infrastructure design. It navigates the complexities of adapting drainage systems to cope with the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. From torrential downpours to rising sea levels, the book offers innovative solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by urban environments in the 21st century.

Through meticulous research and practical insights, Resilient Urban Drainage System Strategies for Extreme Weather equips engineers, planners, and policymakers with the knowledge and tools necessary to fortify cities against the impacts of climate change. This book showcases best practices and cutting-edge technologies, empowering readers to implement resilient strategies that safeguard communities, infrastructure, and natural ecosystems. Whether you're a seasoned professional seeking advanced techniques or a newcomer eager to understand the evolving landscape of urban resilience, this guide is an indispensable resource for shaping a sustainable future in an era of unprecedented environmental challenges.

Key Features:

Promotes the concept of resilient urban drainage system solutions to bridge the critical design gap related to extreme weather due to climate change in the “New Normal” era Discusses a variety of strategic design approaches for large-scale drainage systems, including fail-safe, safe-to-fail, and robust decision making (RDM) Incorporates failure effects into design and management processes while demonstrating alternative solutions to supplement current design methodologies Demonstrates how low-impact development techniques and natural systems can be used to enhance current drainage systems Supplements the existing drainage system design criteria for extreme weather via a simplified approach and advancement of a multi-scalar perspective on resilience WAV offers instructional material for classroom use (lecture slides, exercise solutions, etc.) available from the Web Added Value™ Download Resource Center at jrosspub.com
