Abstract

Urban drainage has important health, economic, environmental and personal impacts, but current design techniques focus on water quantity issues. A multidisciplinary approach brings more factors into the design process, increasing the bene铿乼s of a drainage system, but this changes the design information required and the range of solutions available. The increase in factors to be considered also requires the institutional arrangements to be reviewed, to re铿俥ct the wider range of issues involved.
