DAGVATTENHANTERING I KANADA- INTRYCK FRÅN EN STUDIERESA / Stormwater Management in Canada – Impressions from a Study Tour
Since stormwater management planning in Canada is included in physical regional planning, the final design of stormwater systems satisfies different economic, environmental, aesthetic and other requirements. Markham symposium 88, described in this paper, is one of several similar meetings during which researchers from different disciplines, hydrologists, city planners, biologists, ecologists and politicians have the opportunity of discuss and develop new ideas about how a modern stormwater system should be designed. New stormwater systems in Canada are designed on a modern way. Stormwater attenuation and source control facilities are important components of these systems. Stormwater systems in new developments are designed so that they will not lead to any quantitative or qualitative changes in water budget downstream. The use of modelling technique for planning design and analysis of stormwater systems is a standard method among private and municipal engineers. “Complete abstract not presented.”
