Description:
This chapter covers the control and treatment of stormwater in relation to the removal or reduction of the stormwater pollutant loads. The control of stormwater to prevent flooding is not the emphasis of this chapter. The pollution abatement technologies discussed will help attenuate stormwater flows. However, as they are generally designed for small storm events they will not provide sufficient capacity for the large events. Although prevention of stormwater flooding is not discussed in this chapter a drainage system design should consider both pollutant and flooding aspects of stormwater.
