More Urban Water: Design and Management of Dutch water cities
Most urban water management systems were developed when precipitation was distributed more evenly throughout the year. High groundwater levels and excess water now result in flooded cellars and inaccessible infrastructure. Future urban water programmes focus on the restructuring and transformation of urban areas, with water management as an integral part of urban renewal activities. The book’s unique approach deals with the urbanism and water management in Dutch water cities. It treats the financial aspects of adjusting water systems to urban hydrological cycle changes and discusses the city’s typology, function and ecological and technical aspects. Separate chapters examine historical, inter-war and post-war cities, including comparisons with Seoul, Tokyo, and Ruhr area.
