gestão das águas pluviais urbanas


Explanation:
A tradução da Alexandra para o começo da frase está ótimo, só adiciono a segunda parte. Penso que seja a gestão (canalização, piscinas subterrâneas para armazenamento (esqueci o nome dessas piscinas, galerias etc) da água da chuva para impedir enchentes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_runoff
runoff: Surface runoff is the water flow which occurs when soil is infiltrated to full capacity and excess water, from rain, snowmelt, or other sources flows over the land. This is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.[1][2]

Managing Urban Runoff

The most recent National Water Quality Inventory reports that runoff from urban areas is the leading source of impairments to surveyed estuaries and the third largest source of water quality impairments to surveyed lakes. In addition, population and development trends indicate that by 2010 more than half of the Nation will live in coastal towns and cities. Runoff from these rapidly growing urban areas will continue to degrade coastal waters.

To protect surface water and ground water quality, urban development and household activities must be guided by plans that limit runoff and reduce pollutant loadings. To this end, communities can address urban water quality problems on both a local and watershed level and garner the institutional support to help address urban runoff problems.
