URBAN STORMWATER - THE ANALYSIS OF THE FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUES AND THE MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY

The implementation of alternative techniques in urban stormwater manag ement is a difficult problem in terms of choice, design, construction, and operating. We applied a quality management approach to ay and hav e a better understanding of these techniques. The quality of an altern ative technique in urban stormwater management is defined; the factors that lead to failures were identified and analysed In order to reduce these factors, tools were developed and measures that allow the achie vement of the necessary standard of quality are suggested. In this art icle, all the illustrations refer to the porous pavement technique.
