U.S.-Italy Bilateral Seminar on Urban Storm Drainage; Cagliari, Italy, July 1988

该奖项将支持伊利诺伊大学香槟分校的Ben Chie Yen教授和意大利卡利亚里大学的卡洛·曹教授举办的关于城市暴雨排水科学和技术的联合研讨会。研讨会将集中讨论以下主题：实验城市流域、城市排水的降雨分析、城市环境中的渗透和其他损失、陆上、排水沟和下水道流动、滞留储存、城市排水中的风险考虑、雨水管理、作为限制因素的雨水建模和数据，以及水质。每年在美国、意大利和其他发达国家的暴雨排水设施上花费数十亿美元，更不用说洪水和环境恶化造成的破坏了。在过去的25年里，美国和意大利的研究人员在城市暴雨排水技术方面取得了长足的进步。虽然美国的研究主要集中在污染缓解、管理和计算机建模方面，但意大利人强调排水设施的设计和修复方法。通过将针对共同问题采取互补办法的调查人员聚集在一起，这次研讨会应有助于推动这一领域的研究。

This award will support a joint workshop, organized by Prof. Ben Chie Yen of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Prof. Carlo Cao of the University of Cagliari, Italy, on the science and technology of urban storm drainage. The workshop will focus on the following topics: experimental urban basins, rainfall analysis for urban drainage, infiltration and other losses in the urban environment, overland, gutter, and sewer flows, detention storage, risk considerations in urban drainage, storm water management, storm water modeling and data as a limiting factor, and water quality. Every year several billions of dollars are spent on storm drainage facilities in the U.S., Italy and other developed countries, not to mention the amounts spent for damages due to flooding and deterioration of the environment. Considerable progress has been made on the technology of urban storm drainage over the past twenty-five years by researchers in both the United States and Italy. While research in the U.S. has focused on pollution abatement, management, and computer modeling, the Italians have emphasized methodologies for the design and rehabilitation of drainage facilities. By bringing together investigators with complementary approaches to common problems, this workshop should help to advance research in this area.
