Urban Drainage Statistics 2009-2010

Urban drainage and sewer system management in The Netherlands

• Urban Drainage Statistics 2009 - 2010 (2009)
  This publication offers a quantitative view of intended (environmental) measures, studies and schemes, costs and funding of the drain and sewer system in the Netherlands. It is largely based on details provided by municipalities and water boards through the national Urban Drainage Study 2005.
• Urban Drainage Atlas (summary, 2005)
• Changes needed to deal with rainwater, a RIONED survey among 203 municipalities

Sustainable urban drainage systems

• Lessons from Twelve Years Storm Water Infiltration in the Dutch Delta (paper for Essener Tagung 2008)
• Hydraulic life span of storm water infiltration systems (summary, 2007)
  This publication gives the causes and remedies for the loss of hydraulic capacity due to insufficient trapping of sediments, to clogging or blocking of geo-textiles as well as due to silting of the surrounding soil.
• Lessons of ten years suds in the Dutch delta (paper for 6th Novatech, Lyon - France, 2007)
• Swales: guidelines for design, construction, and maintenance (summary, 2006)
  Results of a six year monitoring programme in the Dutch municipality Enschede.
• IBOS-Regenwater: the Dutch Interactive Decision Support Tool for Sustainable Urban Water Management (paper for 10th ICUD 2005, Copenhagen - Danmark)
• Tackling wastage means different waste water systems (paper for IWA world water conference 2004, Marrakech - Marocco)

Benchmarking

• Benchmarking management of sewer systems - the 2005 snapshot (summary)
• Benchmarking sewerage management: more to learn than cost effectiveness (paper for IWA world water conference 2004, Marrakech)
• Benchmarking sewer system management (summary, 2003)

Modelling and monitoring

• Interactions within waste water systems (summary, 2004)
  This summary is based on a dissertation study at the Delft Technical University concerning the interaction between the sewer system and the waste water treatment plant.
• Modeling and monitoring sewerage systems (summary, 2003)
  This publication offers a manual for planning and operating a monitoring system to get insight in the hydraulic performance of sewer systems

Sewer operation and management

• SPIRIT: Interactive Prediction of Sewer Conditions Based on Expert-opinions, Classifications conform EN13508-2 and Geo-information (paper for the SOM’06, Vienna – Austria)
• SPIRIT: Towards an Interactive Tool for predicitve Asset Management (paper for the 10th ICUD 2005, Copenhagen, Danmark)
• Probabilistic assessment of combined sewer systems (summary, 2005)
  This summary is based on a dissertation study at the Delft Technical University concerning the assesment of sewer systems taking in account uncertainties.
• Improving the co-ordination of work carried out in underground public space (summary, 2004)
  In order to reduce nuisance and improve maintainability of underground infrastructure this publication contains recommendations for better co-ordination

Literature Database

• International Urban Drainage Research Database (paper for the 11th ICUD 2005, Copenhagen - Danmark)
  UDIRD is a bibliographical database of publications in journals and conferences since 1995 on sewer management and urban drainage. It contains almost 2000 references and is updated annually. The database can be accessed here.
