A pilot study to evaluate runoff quantity from green roofs.
The use of green roofs is gaining increased recognition in many countries as a solution that can be used to improve environmental quality and reduce runoff quantity. To achieve these goals, pilot-scale green roof assemblies have been constructed and operated in an urban setting. From a stormwater management perspective, green roofs are 42.8-60.8% effective in reducing runoff for 200 mm soil dep...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of green roofs in urban runoff reduction
Urbanism directly affects the hydrological cycle. One of the ways to manage runoffs in urban areas that is considered nowadays is green roof creation. Green roof is mainly created in humid and semi-humid areas, and efficiency of green roofs in arid and semi-arid areas has attracted less attention. In the current study, to evaluate the effect of green roof in arid and semi-arid to reduce runoff,...
متن کاملGreen Infrastructure Design for Stormwater Runoff and Water Quality: Empirical Evidence from Large Watershed-Scale Community Developments
Green infrastructure (GI) design is advocated as a new paradigm for stormwater management, whereas current knowledge of GI design is mostly based on isolated design strategies used at small-scale sites. This study presents empirical findings from two watershed-scale community projects (89.4 km and 55.7 km) in suburban Houston, Texas. The GI development integrates a suite of on-site, infiltratio...
متن کاملEffects of Stormwater Runoff from New Development
Most people know that urban runoff is a problem. Few understand just how harmful it can be for rivers and streams. To secure better watershed planning urban runoff control, we must first convince the public and its officials that they are needed. We need to show clearly and convincingly both the nature and the magnitude of the water quality and quantity problems that poorly planned and managed ...
متن کاملIi.3-swb-nile Simple Water Balance Model This Document Is from 'a Simple Water Balance Model (swb) for Estimating Runoff at Different Spatial and Temporal Scales'
The model has a 2 layer structure with both a physical and statistical basis for the model parameters. It was developed to fill a need for models with a small number of parameters and of intermediate complexity between a one parameter simple bucket and more complex hydrologically oriented models with many parameters such as the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting model. The focus was to improve...
