DETERMINISTIC MODELLING OF INTEGRATED URBAN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Today, the main concepts required for describing the dynamics of drainage in an entire urban area are known and models are available that can reasonably simulate the behaviour of the urban water system. The aim of the paper is : to outline the state of the art in mathematical modelling of the integrated system by focusing on the deterministic description of the processes; to provide an overview on modelling experience in practice, indicating feasability and benefits; to discuss problems and future developments.
