Spécificité de l'hydrologie urbaine (Specificity of urban hydrology)

摘要

Abstract. - Urban hydrology, on account of its object, methods and close connections with climatology has become a particular branch of hydrology. Since nearly a century urban hydrology has been the exclusive concern of engineers specialized in storm-water drain and sewer construction ; with the increasing urbanization and town-planning needs, it is to-day a field for interdisciplinary research in which physical, biological and human sciences take part and, among others, it holds the attention of geographers.
