Model of urban groundwater level management in drainage systems

Hydraulic Structures in Urban Drainage Systems

Large hydraulic structures are of major importance to sustained life-support systems and have an impact on the environment. Dams, reservoirs and open canals are such structures, the impact of which has been duly appreciated and addressed in environmental impact assessments and side-effects amelioration programs. Less obvious, but of vital importance, is the impact of urban drainage systems on h...

Running head : URBAN GROUNDWATER MANAGEMENT 1 On the Economics of Optimal Urban Groundwater Management in the Desert Southwest Jason

Conference for helpful comments and suggested revisions. The normal culpability assumption applies. Abstract Climate change and population growth anticipate the need for efficient, sustainable, long-term groundwater management. Groundwater serves as the primary water source for approximately 80 percent of public water systems in the United States and for many more as a secondary source. Traditi...

Urban Drainage Systems: Evolution of Problems

The practice of urban drainage has been traced back to some of the earliest recorded histories of humankind. The expeditious conveyance of stormwater from urbanized areas was motivated primarily by reasons of convenience and the reduction of ̄ood damage potential. The removal of domestic wastes from households using waterborne conveyances was also found to be convenient. Such practices to improv...

Mathematical Modelling of Integrated Urban Drainage Systems

Today, the main concepts required for describing the dynamics of drainage in an entire urban area are known and models are available that can reasonably simulate the behaviour of the urban water system. Still, such integrated modelling is a complex exercise not only due to the shear size of the model, but also due to the different modelling approaches that reflect the history of the submodels u...
