Introduction to Stormwater:
Concept, Purpose, Design

by Bruce K. Ferguson

www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-047116528X.html

An excellent overview of stormwater management, this book addresses hydrologic concepts, the water balance, methods for calculating stormwater runoff, and the primary components of stormwater management: conveyance, detention, extended detention (sometimes called "retention"-a term Ferguson avoids due to its ambiguity), and infiltration. Ferguson's writing is reasonably comprehensive, yet you don't need an engineering degree to understand it.
