Very much like its predecessors, Advances in Modeling the Management of Stormwater Impacts - Volume 5, fifth in this series of monographs, depends upon contributions from authors who present their findings at the international conference on stormwater and water quality modeling. Similar meetings have been held elsewhere and at other times, but, in this present series, which started in 1992, meetings are held every winter in Toronto.

Each monograph is produced to the same high standards. Every article is reviewed by two experts, who are listed at the back, and you will agree that we have been blessed by their quality and willingness to do the work. Content is reviewed for accuracy, relevance, merit and readability. Every article then undergoes an extensive system of editing: the language, notation, presentation and structure is rendered consistent, and we check all reviewers' suggestions. Individual authors are involved in making significant changes, where required. Sometimes a great deal of patience is called for. As a result, only half to three-quarters of the presentations make it into final print. Finally we have a monograph of textbook and journal quality.

Also, we have been blessed by some extraordinarily interesting and valuable contributions - many readers find the set a valuable source of information on emerging techniques and applications, and they are on the shelves of many North American Universities. Unusually, it seems, the monographs are distributed to the attendees at the ensuing conference - if you have missed any, details of the sources are provided in the end papers of this one. Readers are cautioned, however, not to depend on the review procedures catching all errors and omissions; moreover the editors, publishers and reviewers are clearly not responsible for any opinions, or recommendations in the publication.

Subjects covered herein may be subsumed under: continuous models, urban pavement, structures and metering, combined sewer overflows, water quality management, ponds and wetlands, and planning, and the monograph ends with a chapter and CDROM on references in the non-serial literature. For readers who wish a little more detail, the chapters cover:

• models for computing pollutant removal by stormwater ponds,
• time series data management for very long term continuous modeling,
• review of statistical methods and continuous modeling,
• continuous HSPF modeling for baseflow and control of erosion,
• continuous SWMM modeling for conservation of groundwater,
• a water balance model for recharge of groundwater,
  the attributes of programs derived from and for SWMM,
• thermal effect on stormwater of urban pavement,
  infiltration through clogged porous concrete block pavers,
• contaminants from four different pavements in a parking lot,
• improvements in the performance of modern street sweepers,
• a tangential helicoidal ramp for stormwater inlets,
  errors in metering stormwater flows,
• a large CSO storage tunnel in Toronto,
• impacts and control of CSOs on large rivers,
• cost-effectiveness of various stormwater and CSO controls,
• a simplified CSO model for CSO pollution loadings,
• modeling fecal coliforms,
• small-scale stormwater treatment devices,
• water quality modeling and groundwater pollution,
• setting total maximium daily pollutant loads,
• water information management for flow modeling and sewer permits,
• modeling phosphorous dynamics in stormwater wetlands,
• retrofitting stormwater ponds for water quality enhancement,
• urban watershed planning,
• municipal stormwater guidelines,
• SCS runoff curve numbers for small watersheds, and a bibliographic CDROM, which provides limited access to a number of otherwise inaccessible conference papers (abstracts not included).
