<br />drainage systems are a major planning task because of the large variety <br />of management alternatives that are possible and because the impact of <br />works on communities can be very great. Competition for space and funds <br />and good planning requires that drainage systems be considered integral <br />parts of a broader urban design and that advantage is taken of all <br />feasible joint development opportunities, In addition, there is growing <br />concern that many problems should be amenable to nonstructural solutions <br />that do not necessarily require large scale disturbance of the landscape, <br />It is in this spirit that this paper has been prepared, Specifically <br />this paper will attempt to (1) define the subject area and describe its <br />characteristics, (2) review past concepts in storm drainage, (3) describe <br />the current context of planning these systems, (4) describe the alter- <br />natives available and the implementation requirements, (5) discuss <br />'institutional factors including the federal interest and conclude with <br />some observations on current planning approaches, <br /> <br />2 <br />
