Dear Norman, Just a few ideas of places where to start making some enquiries (unless you haven't done so already). I recommend you get in touch with the CIRIA people working on the Sustainable Urban Runoff Management project http://www.sepa.org.uk/guidance/scontrol/ciria/ciria.htm There are also a number of research groups based at Imperial College, University of Abertay, and Sheffield (amongst others in the UK) as well as numerous groups in Europe who might also assist you. I also suggest that you get in touch the IAHR/IAWQ Joint Specialist Group on Urban Drainage http://www.iawq.org.uk/spgroups/usd.htm I hope this provides you with some goods leads Regards Jonathan Parkinson B.Eng MSc.
