Features: This book highlights the scientific concepts and systematic engineering principles of urban rainwater utilization, primarily discussing technical and managerial aspects. It focuses on introducing the urban rainwater utilization technology system, including: characteristics of urban rainwater quality, rainwater collection and pollution interception measures, rainwater storage and regulation, rainwater treatment and purification technologies, rainwater storage and utilization systems, rainwater infiltration techniques, and integrated rainwater utilization systems. It also emphasizes the importance of urban rainwater utilization engineering management and introduces typical domestic and international case studies and successful experiences. It aims to promote the scientific and orderly development of urban rainwater utilization, alleviate urban water scarcity, reduce urban flood disasters, and improve urban ecological environments. Guided by the principles of circular economy and sustainable development, the book systematically summarizes and discusses urban rainwater utilization technology and management. It emphasizes the systematic engineering principles and scientific concepts of urban rainwater utilization, focusing on introducing the technology system while also highlighting the importance of engineering management. The content of the rainwater utilization technology system mainly includes: urban rainwater utilization engineering decision-making, characteristics of urban rainwater quality, rainwater collection and pollution interception measures, rainwater storage and regulation, rainwater treatment and purification technologies, rainwater storage and utilization systems, rainwater infiltration techniques, and integrated rainwater utilization systems. The management of urban rainwater utilization engineering mainly involves: evaluation of rainwater utilization projects, technical and economic analysis, project acceptance, operation and maintenance management. It also introduces numerous domestic and international case studies and successful experiences in urban rainwater utilization. Based on the authors' extensive research and engineering applications, closely China's urban development and water resource characteristics, and drawing on international experiences, the book aims to promote the scientific and orderly development of urban rainwater utilization, alleviate urban water scarcity, reduce urban flood disasters, and improve urban ecological environments. It is suitable for reference by management and decision-makers, technical personnel, residential developers, and university students and teachers in related fields such as urban planning, water supply and drainage, environmental engineering, water conservancy engineering, and landscape engineering.
