A study on the effectiveness of percolation ponds as a stormwater harvesting alternative for a semi-urban catchment

One of the challenges in urban stormwater management is to identify a suitable stormwater management method which will be socially, technologically and economically viable. In this paper, a study on the effectiveness of decentralized and interconnected percolation ponds as a stormwater harvesting te...
