sustainable stormwater management


Due to the general accepted dramatic changes in weather patterns throughout the world and the increase of impervious surfaces and densification of urban soil (Dhakal et al., 2016)[1], the traditional piped drainage system have been challenged in relation to urban storm water management practice (US EPA, 2003). Detrimental damages from floods caused by storm water occurred during the last decades, which lead to huge losses of life as well as material resources (NRC 1999, 2009; Burns et al.[2], 2015; Liu et al., 2014).
