- Zusatztext
- <p><i>Optimizing Stormwater Treatment Practices: A Handbook of Assessment and Maintenance</i>provides the information necessary for developing and operating an effective maintenance program for stormwater treatment. The book offers instructions on how to measure the level of performance of stormwater treatment practices directly and bases proposed maintenance schedules on actual performance and historical maintenance efforts and costs. The inspection methods, which are proven in the field and have been implemented successfully, are necessary as regulatory agencies are demanding evaluations of the performance of stormwater treatment practices. The authors have developed a three-tiered approach that offers readers a standard protocol for how to determine the effectiveness of stormwater treatment practices currently in place.</p>
- Kurztext
- <p>Providing useful standard protocols for determining the effectiveness of storm water treatment practices, this volume includes a substantial number of relevant case studies using the authors four-level approach, which standardizes protocol in the sector.</p>
