商品簡介
The 29 papers in this collection were selected from presentations to an international conference held in Venice. Looking in turn at urban water and flood risk, they consider such topics as the influence of chlorinated water on the mechanical properties of polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride pipes, using energy generated by water flowing in pipes to power devices monitoring the water supply network, a laboratory study of the rainfall influence over the sediment transport dynamics in the discharge from pervious pavements, a projection in Hilbert space for forecasting flooding of New Zealand's Pomahaka River, and the hydraulic efficiency of road drainage inlets for a storm draining system under clogging effect.
