Study on storm water control by permeable pavement and infiltration pipes

Since 1982, the City of Yokohama has been studying the effects of storm water runoff control measures by setting up a model area in a residential area and installing two types of runoff control facilities – permeable pavement and infiltration pipes. The model area was subdivided into three areas according to the combination of the runoff control facilities. The study results revealed that 15 to 20 percent of the peak runoff control effect was achieved by the use of the installed runoff control facilities. Throughout the study period, no deterioration of the strength and features of the permeable pavement in comparison with ordinary pavement was observed.

Runoff Pollution

Abstract The acceleration of urbanization has brought about rapid economic development, but at the same time, it has also brought some damage to the ecological environment. The proportion of hardened area of the ground is higher and higher, and the rainwater runoff pollution caused by rainfall is more and more serious. In order to follow the sustainable development strategy, and for the more stable and high-speed economic development, the control of rainwater runoff pollution is urgent. The purpose of this paper is to simulate the urban storm water runoff control and find the most suitable scheme for storm water runoff pollution control. Because the simulation of SWMM is more accurate than other models, it can directly reflect the situation of rainwater runoff pollution, so the model selected for rainwater runoff in this paper is SWMM, and then build the model, through the collection and collation of the basic data of the study area, the generalization of the sub catchment area and drainage network is completed. Through the analysis of the characteristics of the study area, the rainwater garden and permeable pavement are determined as the scheme to control the rainwater runoff in the study area. Finally, the SWMM model is used to simulate the control effect of rainwater garden and pervious pavement on rainwater runoff pollution control. The experimental results show that the storm water garden can effectively control the impact of SS scouring effect on the environment, significantly reduce the discharge of SS, and significantly reduce the peak concentration of SS, and its ability to control SS increases with the thickness of the surface plant layer. The control ability of rain permeable brick pavement to SS increases with the increase of surface porosity, that is, the control effect of SS is the best when the porosity is 20%.

As part of a research & development project commissioned by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia's Ministry for the Environment and Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection (MUNLV) an examination is being carried out of the general possibilities for centralised and decentralised treatment storm water runoff to be discharged into (canalised) receiving waters and the costs ensuing from this. The examination of the different options is being carried out under real conditions, with the Briller Creek (Wuppertal/Germany) and Müggen Creek (Remscheid/Germany) catchment areas being used as models. The range of investigations deals with a comparison between ‘decentralised, semicentralised, centralised’ storm water treatment, centralised storm water treatment involving a separate sewer and parameter-specific pollution based storm water runoff control. In the framework of the research project each of the variants is to be elaborated and the costs are to be calculated so as to permit a comparison between the different system designs. In particular, the investigations are to take into account the actual requirements to be met by storm water drainage systems involving separate sewage systems.

A simple method is presented to size infiltration structures like infiltration basins and trenches to control storm water runoff. The runoff hydrograph is assumed to be trapezoidal in shape with a peak runoff rate calculated using the rational formula. Given the watershed time of concentration and the allowable runoff rate, the method determines the required size of the infiltration structure. A practical application section is included to demonstrate the use of the method.Key words: rational method, infiltration basin, infiltration trench, capture volume, storage time.

Parking Lot

Increased urbanization has an impact on increased impervious surface, consequently the urban drainage system becomes gradually overloaded, with frequent spills and inundate urban areas. Upgrade or re-design the existing drainage system is not an effective solution because it does not address the source of the problem. It is necessary strategies for urbanization reduction of storm-water runoff. These strategies are aimed to reduce storm-water runoff mainly through water infiltration. One of the strategies is to develop permeable pavement. This study is aimed to test the capacity of permeable pavement through the development of full scale physical models in the parking lot. The results show that proposed permeable pavement are able to significantly reduce volume and peak discharge of storm-water runoff, delay the start of runoff and slow the peak discharge. The application of this proposed permeable pavement in the urban area is strongly recommended to reduce drainage load as well as to increase groundwater recharge.

Water Tanks

As a result of urbanization, the pollutant discharges from sources such as treatment plant effluents and polluted stormwaters are responsible for an unacceptable water quality in the receiving waters.In particular, combined sewer system overflows may produce great damage due to a shock effect. To reduce these combined sewer overflow discharges, the most frequently used method is to build stormwater storage tanks. During storm water runoff, the hydraulic load of waste water treatment plants increases with additional retention storage. This might decrease the treatment efficiency and thereby decrease the benefit of stormwater storage tanks. The dynamic dependence between transport, storage and treatment is usually not taken into account. This dependence must be accounted for when planning treatment plants and calculating storage capacities in order to minimize the total pollution load to the receiving waters. A numerical model will be described that enables the BOD discharges to be continuously calculated. The pollutant transport process within the networks and the purification process within the treatment plants are simulated. The results of the simulation illustrate; a statistical balance of the efficiency of stormwater tanks with the treatment plant capacity and to optimize the volume of storm water tanks and the operation of combined sewer systems and treatment plants.
