Current trends in stormwater management / J. Marsalek.: En13-5/94-75E-PDF
"Advances in the understanding of urban runoff processes indicate that the cumulative impacts of increased flows, erosion, and discharges of pollutants (solids, nutrients, heavy metals, hydrocarbons, bacteria and toxicants) result in degradation of urban receiving waters. Consequently, the need for stormwater control and management is now recognized and promulgated in government policies. For implementation of such policies, stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) have been proposed and the performance of selected BMPs has been reported. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of stormwater management based on the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Urban Storm Drainage (6th ICUSD), held in Niagara Falls, Canada, in 1993, and to supplement this overview by more detailed information on the current Canadian research on BMPs"--Introduction, page 1.
