Implications for stormwater management and recommendations for future research

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the major outcomes derived from the research study which aimed to assess the human health risk associated with urban stormwater as influenced by traffic and land use parameters and the practical application of the research outcomes to urban stormwater management. Recommendations are provided to strengthen the hierarchy of hazard control strategies to minimize stormwater risk and current water reuse guidelines. This chapter also discusses the current knowledge gaps and provides recommendations for future research.
