Main Results:

  • Widespread interest in SWM and acceptance of holistic approaches.
  • Growing adoption of sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS).
  • Emphasis on source controls, green infrastructure, and infrastructure maintenance.

Conclusions:

  • Shift from traditional 'hard' infrastructure to green infrastructure is crucial.
  • Formation of dedicated stormwater agencies with public-private participation is recommended.
  • Sustainable funding models, such as drainage fees, and high public participation are essential for SWM progress.
