were used in obtaining the average rainfall calculation.
What consideration has global warming been utilised.
• Extreme wet weather and prolonged rainfall causing grounds to become
saturated and non-absorbent.
• Prolonged dry weather periods causing land to dry out, which can’t soak
away rainfall and water will just run off.
• Highways surface drainage systems, increase in flows and run offmeasures considered to understand volume and impact- are the drains
connected to combined sewage networks or land treatment like soak
