Résumé au format pdf + biographie de l'orateur + plan d'accès

In this talk I will provide an overview of my research activities in sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS), particularly the use of rainwater collection systems. Rainwater tanks, which are normally associated with remote rural areas or areas lacking alternative water resources, have also proven to be efficient elements in urban environments. They not only supply water for domestic uses that do not require high-quality treated water, but at the same time serve as stormwater management systems because they are able to detain stormwater. For this talk, a case study is used to show the benefits of implementing such systems with respect to water supply savings and stormwater management.
