Assessment of Drainage Infrastructure for Urban Areas

by Robert E. Molzahn, Harza Engineering Co, Chicago, IL, USA,

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Infrastructure for Urban Growth

Abstract:

Public concern about the adequacy of the urban drainage system rises and falls with the rainfall patterns. Because the 'problem' depends on many variables, including the cost to solve it, the study and assessment of the urban drainage system can be quite comprehensive. This paper presents various facets of a number of studies on Midwest urban drainage systems to indicate how important certain factors can be in developing a solution to a 'problem'.
