stormwater management

In conditions of intensive increasing of urbanized impervious areas, stormwater management became especially relevant. To solve this problem, a number of methods have been developed and investigated, which are based on the retention, detention or filtration of stormwater runoff. Stormwater management by the pervious pavements is an effective method to control surface runoff; it is widely used in foreign practice, allowing to reduce the runoff volume, provides its preliminary treatment, improves the safety on the roads.

Rainwater is an alternative and sustainable source of water which is in compliance with the idea of sustainable development. Risk analysis helps us to identify the risks associated with the rainwater harvesting (RWH) in general. In this article we identify that parts of the RWH system where potential hazardous events could occur. The potential hazardous events are
