Great Works on Urban Water Resources (1962-2001), from the American Society of Civil Engineers, Urban Water Resources Research Council

Sponsored by the Urban Water Resources Research Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This book contains 29 selected papers dealing with urban water resources selected from more than 40 years of materials prepared by the Urban Water Resources Research Council (UWRRC). Members of the UWRRC have collaborated to prepare reports, technical memoranda, conference proceedings, and other documents and, in the process, made extraordinary contributions to the field of urban water resources planning, design, and management. This book documents the unique contributions of the UWRRC with papers that are as timely and provocative today as when they were first published. Readers will be struck by the foresight and perspective of UWRRC members on such subjects as drainage and flood control, stormwater quality management, water supply planning, risk assessment, public involvement and participation, and the role of the water engineer in society. This book presents the evolution and primary underpinnings of urban stormwater management and will be beneficial to all stormwater management professionals.
