Abstract:

Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) is a generic term that refers to various measures aimed at minimising surface runoff (and consequent flooding and pollution problems) from urban catchments. SUDS technologies include local infiltration, storage and storm-water re-use devices. Although there is considerable international evidence of the successful incorporation of SUDS technologies in new developments, there is very little indication of the extent to which they represent a viable rehabilitation option for retrofit applications to problem urban catchments in the UK. It is believed that u

Abstract:

Our planet stands before many great challenges, where climate change and urbanization are two of the major challenges. One of the challenges due to climate change is the increased amount of precipitation and of extreme rainfall, which creates a higher amount of stormwater within the urban areas and an increased risk of urban flooding. Urbanization and an increasing global population put pressure on the environment as more land is exploited and existing urban areas are further developed and densified. Urban areas are already under high pressure to handle the risks of climate change, therefore i

Abstract:

Infiltration trenches and filter drains are the most common types o f sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) in Scotland. Despite their extensive use there has been only limited examination of their performance, with the general expectation that failure through lack of maintenance and poor detailing design would necessitate reconstruction within a limited time period. This research worked towards enhanced detailing and improved operation and maintenance of in-ground SUDS. It focused on information gained from on-site monitoring of three filter drain and three infiltration trench systems and

The research presented in this thesis addressed the performance of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) at three sites in Scotland - a porous paved car park and two swales. It is the first research to provide results for such systems in the UK and also the first direct comparison between SUDS and traditional systems in situ. The aim of developing guidance on effectiveness and synthesising design recommendations has been achieved with the integration of hydrological and water quality studies together with modeling.

Abstract:

A study conducted by The Department of Environment Malaysia shows that there is an increase in numbers of polluted rivers. One problem is said to be due to indiscriminate dumping of wastes into the rivers. This phenomenon adversely affects the drainage capacities of rivers which then leads to more frequent occurrences of floods as well as an increase in the intensity of the floods. The issues are critical since 97% of the total water use originates from rivers. In Malaysia, 40-60% of water use comes from the domestic domain. Domestic wastewater gives an impact on the quality of water. Public i

In recent times urban flooding has become more frequent and more complex due to the effects of increasing urban areas and climate change. In some established urban areas the existing drainage infrastructure is unable to cope with the volume of surface runoff and flooding events are more frequent, therefore new approaches to create more space for water within developments are required. This research was conceived in that context. It aims to investigate the potential for integrating green space planning with water planning and to develop a framework for the same in order to reduce the risk of fl

Urban drainage systems are influenced by several future drivers that affect the performance as well as the costs of the systems. The uncertainties associated with future drivers and their impact creates difficulties in designing urban drainage systems sustainably.

This dissertation contends that to deal with future uncertainties, flexibility in urban drainage systems is necessary. At present, profound insights abo

While it is widely studied and acknowledged that filtration of polluted water through granular material is extremely effective, the inherent geochemical and biogeochemical mechanisms are complex and difficult to ascertain. This is especially true for SuDS filter drains as they have been less well

Abstract:

Urban SIS is a project that develops, demonstrates and puts into production a method to downscale climate and impact indicators to urban scale, realizing a set of Essential Climate Variables over three area of Europe, including Bologna; in particular the precipitation was estimated for 5 non-consecutives years at a spatial resolution of 1x1 km2 and a temporal resolution of 15 min. The database of the area of Bologna contains an amount of data in the order of 10 millions that was managed in this study with RStudio. An analysis of the high resolution precipitation data over the most critical flo

Abstract:

Cape Town is experiencing its worst drought in recorded history. Notwithstanding that the Western Cape has always been a water scarce region, it is this current drought that has brought home the area’s inherent vulnerability and highlighted the governance issues. The world wherein South Africa’s water governance was created is very different to the world we find ourselves in today. It is a world of uncertainty and unpredictability not contemplated in water governance comprised of legislation, policy, guidelines and practice. The current water governance constructs a conventional approach based

Abstract:

En esta dissertación se desarrolló un modelo para evaluar técnica, económica y ambientalmente sistemas de recogida de agua de lluvia para aprovechamiento doméstico urbano. Se analizaron diferentes tipologías de vivienda (vivienda tipo casa y vivienda tipo apartamento) y diferentes sistemas (vivienda unifamiliar, edificio de apartamentos y barrio). Se encontraron los escenarios de viabilidad económica y ambiental y se desarrollaron submodelos específicos para la evaluación directa en un amplio rango de condiciones climáticas, precios y calidad del agua para sistemas de diferentes escalas urbana

Abstract:

With sustainable development as the new overarching goal, urban wastewater system (UWS) managers are now being asked to take all social, economic, technical and environmental facets related to their decisions into account. In this complex decision-making environment, uncertainty can be formidable. Uncertainty is present both in the ways the system is interpreted stochastically, but also in its natural ever-shifting behaviour. This inherent uncertainty leads to the conclusion that better decisions will be made if the decision-making process is adaptive and iterative. UWS decision-support framew
