Urban drainage in cold climate : challenges and progress in management practices / J. Marsalek and G.A. Larkin, National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada.: En13-5/98-43E-PDF
"Cold climate imposes special requirements on the design and operation of urban drainage, However, such requirements can not be fully met using the existing knowledge base and design approaches that were primarily developed from research and experience in the temperate or warm climates, This situation is analyzed a review of challenges in, and research progress with respect to, urban drainage in cold climate. Significant advances have been made in studies of urban snowpack processes and design and operation of stormwater management facilities. Future research needs include improved modelling of urban snowmelt, the hydrology of rain-on-snow events in urban and suburban conditions, snowmelt impacts on aquatic ecosystems, and refinement of stormwater management in cold climate"--Abstract.
