Impact of Urban Floods on Water Quality

About this book

Climate change will increase the occurrence of floods in cities and open areas. As well as the widely documented social and economic impacts of floods, these events can also have a significant and long-lasting impact on water quality. This multidisciplinary edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of floods on water quality, with chapters written by experts on water chemistry, water management, flood risk management, and urban engineering and planning. It presents global case studies, ranging from Australia and Canada to India and China, and includes contributions by scholars from Asia, Latin America, and Europe. It evaluates precautionary measures, such as the need for early warning systems to predict pluvial flood events, and practical solutions involving urban drainage, in the context of the needs of different regions. This book will be of interest to researchers, policy makers and professionals working in water management, environmental engineering and urban flooding.
