| Abstract |
The three-volume series on “Urban drainage in specific climates” is published within the framework of Theme 7: Integrated urban water management, Project 7.3 Integrated urban drainage modelling in different climates: tropical, arid and semi-arid and cold of the Fifth Phase of UNESCO’s International Hydrological Programme. The three volumes of the series address urban drainage aspects in the humid tropics (Vol I), in cold climates (Vol II) and in arid and semi-arid climates (Vol III). The series is produced under the co-ordinating role of the regional subcentres for particular climates of IRTCUD (International Research and Training Centre on Urban Drainage), an organization established under the auspices of UNESCO.
This volume deals with cold climates and is a result of a team work by specialists of 10 countries. The topics covered include: Chapter 1 – an overview of the differences between rain and snow dominated hydrological regimes in urban settings; Chapter 2 – snow accumulation and the physics of snowmelt; Chapter 3 – storm hydrology and flood analysis; Chapter 4 – snow water quality and pollutant transport during snowmelt; Chapter 5 – maintenance and management of urban drainage systems and their interactions with other urban water systems; Chapter 6 – design and management of urban hydrological stations; Chapter 6 – ecological handling of stormwater and other innovative techniques for sustainable management of urban stormwater systems; and Chapter 7 – a general characterisation of cold climate in different regions and the relationship between climate and runoff.
