These days engineers reduce the adverse effects of urbanizations using Low Impact Developments (LID) on their municipal design. Etobicoke Exfiltration System (EES) as a LID Best Management Practice (BMP) was demonstrated in 1993 and is being implemented at a hospital rehabilitation project in Toronto. To evaluate EES through modeling, a methodology was used to implement EES in SWMM 5.1.012, and the outcome was applied for a case study in Barrie. The primary components of EES include inlets, void space storage of granular material laid beneath the main sewer system. These components were modeled by orifices and a storage unit to simulate the exfiltration of water from the stone trench into the surrounding native soil. The model was applied in a case study in Barrie regarding hydrologic performance analysis. The results indicated a significant reduction of runoff volume and peak flow reduction for a single design storm. However, some challenges revealed by these results regarding the case study

The City

Hamburg is a growing metropolitan city. The increase in sealed surfaces of about 0.36% per year and the subsequent increased runoff impacts on the city's wastewater infrastructure. Further potential risks to the drainage infrastructure arise also from effects of climate change, e.g. increased intensity and frequency of heavy rainfalls. These challenges were addressed in the Rain InfraStructure Adaption (RISA) project conducted 2009–2015 by HAMBURG WASSER and the State Ministry for Environment and Energy, supported by several municipal stakeholders. RISA addressed intensifying conflicts in the context of urban development and stormwater management at that time. Major results of the project are improvements and recommendations for adequate consideration of stormwater management issues during urban planning as well as new funding mechanisms for stormwater management measures. The latter topic resulted in the introduction of a separated stormwater charge based on the amount of sealed area connected to the sewer system of each property. For both undertakings – the RISA project and the introduction of the separated stormwater charge – a novel, comprehensive, digital database was built. Today, these geographical information system (GIS)-based data offer various scale-independent analysis and information opportunities, which facilitate the day-to-day business of HAMBURG WASSER and stormwater management practice in Hamburg.
