Integrated Drainage Systems Planning and Design for Municipal Engineers 1st Edition

Integrated Drainage Systems Planning and Design for Municipal Engineers — 1st Edition by Patrick Ssempeera is an essential, practical guide for municipal engineers, urban planners, and local government officials tackling stormwater, flood control, and sustainable urban drainage challenges.

Start by discovering clear, actionable strategies that translate hydrologic theory into real-world municipal projects. This edition presents modern planning frameworks, step-by-step design procedures, and pragmatic guidance for integrated drainage solutions—addressing surface runoff, conveyance networks, detention and retention systems, and nature-based approaches. Emphasis on resilience and climate-adaptive design makes it especially relevant for fast-growing cities and regions prone to intense rainfall events.

Engineers and project managers will appreciate concise explanations, worked examples, design charts, and illustrated diagrams that simplify complex calculations and regulatory considerations. The book bridges policy and practice, helping readers align infrastructure investments with local planning goals, stormwater regulations, and community needs. Its focus on urban contexts makes it useful across diverse geographies — from Sub-Saharan and East African municipalities to Asian and Latin American cities facing similar urbanization pressures.

Whether you’re preparing capital works, upgrading aging sewer networks, or implementing Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), this resource equips you with the technical know-how and decision-making tools to design effective, cost-conscious solutions. Strengthen your projects with methods that prioritize public safety, environmental protection, and long-term operability.
