Dear friends and colleagues on the Urban Drainage List,
In addition to the book "Urban Stormwater Management in Developing Countries" mentioned in the message yesterday - Jon and I have produced a Power Point slide show with all the figures (80+) from the book.
These slides should make it very easy for you to build a presentation/lectures based on the content of the book.
The slides are available upon request from either Jon ([log in to unmask]) or myself ([log in to unmask])
Comments and feedback on the book will of course be highly appreciated.
Have a nice week-end,
Ole Mark

Urban Stormwater Management in Developing Countries New
by Jonathan Parkinson and Ole Mark
The purpose of this book is to disseminate contemporary knowledge and practical experiences concerning problems and solutions related to urban hydrology and drainage. Although the main focus is on developing countries, the book draws from experiences in many other parts of the world. Based upon numerous practical examples and case studies, the book provides information to assist in the management, planning and engineering design processes.
Urban Stormwater Management in Developing Countries covers a wide range of methods and approaches to improve the understanding and ability of local stakeholders to solve stormwater problems within the framework of integrated urban water management. As well as structural interventions, the book describes various non-structural approaches for flood mitigation and pollution control.
This book encourages the reader to adopt an integrated approach towards stormwater management and considers the importance of institutional arrangements, participation of local stakeholders in planning, as well as aspects of financing and cost recovery.
