This novel, timely and cost-competitive book on ‘Wetland Systems to Control Urban Runoff’ covers water and environmental engineering aspects relevant for the drainage and treatment of stormwater, wastewater and contaminated natural watercourses from predominantly urban areas, providing a descriptive overview of the complex ‘black box’ treatment systems and design issues involved. The fundamental science and engineering principles of relevant water and wastewater treatment units and processes are explained to address the student as well as the professional market. Standard and advanced design recommen- dations for predominantly constructed wetlands and related sustainable urban drainage systems (best management practice) are provided to account for the interests of the professional engineers and environmental.
