Evolution of urban drainage : from cloaca maxima to environmental sustainability / Jiri Marsalek.: En13-5/05-190E-PDF
"Drainage of urban settlements has been practiced for more than five thousand years, but the recognition and understanding of drainage impacts on the environment and the need for mitigation of such impacts has emerged fairly recently, during the last 40-50 years. Urban drainage was first built to improve living conditions in urban settlements by preventing water ponding and draining marshes for new development"--Introduction, page 1.
