Biodiversity and ecosystem services in relation to the management of stormwater and the mitigation of floods.This book brings together the experiences of engineers and scientists from Australia and the United Kingdom providing the current status on the management of stormwater and flooding in urban areas and suggesting ways forward. It forms a basis for the development of a framework for the implementation of integrated and optimised storm water management strategies and aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of the expanding urban water footprint. Among other topics it also features management styles of stormwater and flooding and describes biodiversity and ecosystem services in relation to the management of stormwater and the mitigation of floods. Furthermore, it places an emphasis on sustainable storm water management measures. Population growth, urbanisation and climate change will pose significant challenges to engineers, scientists, medical practitioners, policy makers and practitioners of several other disciplines. If we consider environmental and water engineers, they will have to face challenges in designing smart and efficient water systems which are robust and resilient to overcome shrinking green spaces, increased urban heat islands, damages to natural waterways due to flooding caused by increased stormwater flow. This work provides valuable information for practitioners and students at both senior undergraduate and postgraduate levels.Applied Environmental Science and Engineering for a Sustainable Future,2570-2165Water pollutionWater qualityEnvironmental managementEnvironmental healthHydrologyClimate changeWaste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35040Water Quality/Water Pollutionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/212000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Water and Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/213000Hydrology/Water Resourceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/211000Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Water pollution.Water quality.Environmental management.Environmental health.Hydrology.Climate change.Waste Water Technology / Water Pollution Control / Water Management / Aquatic Pollution.Water Quality/Water Pollution.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Water and Health.Hydrology/Water Resources.Climate Change.628.21Jegatheesan Veeriahedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGoonetilleke Ashanthaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtvan Leeuwen Johnedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKandasamy Jayaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWarner Dougedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMyers Badenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBhuiyan Muhammededthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSpence Kevinedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtParker Geoffreyedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910337884903321Urban Stormwater and Flood Management1921261UNINA
