Planning of LID–BMPs for urban runoff control: The case of Beijing Olympic Village
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a planning analysis of implementing low impact development (LID) type of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for urban runoff control is presented. The Beijing Olympic Village (BOV) residential area in China was used as a case study. The original BOV stormwater system incorporated some LID BMPs such as porous pavements, green roofs and rainwater cisterns. After the 2008 Olympics, the BOV was converted to a residential complex and some stormwater facilities were modified for landscaping purposes. The performance of the original stormwater management system at the BOV residential area was first evaluated by using the model BMPDSS. BMPDSS is a best management practice (BMP) planning and analysis tool, which is capable of simulating BMP performance and optimizing BMP placement and design. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was used to simulate pipe network hydraulics for the BOV. The present study then examined the performance associated with the BMP modifications for landscaping purposes, and then further BMP modifications designed for enhancing runoff control capabilities of the system. Using the 2008 rainfall data for Beijing, peak flow rate and runoff volume reductions under the three scenarios were calculated by using the coupled SWMM–BMPDSS framework and compared. Optimization analysis for BMP design aimed at achieving either maximum runoff control or total minimum system cost was then conducted. The results were used to form recommendations to the Beijing authorities for modifying the present stormwater management system in order to achieve more runoff control benefits. 2011 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملEvaluating the Hydrologic Performance of Low Impact Development Scenarios in a Micro Urban Catchment
As urbanization progresses, increasingly impervious surfaces have changed the hydrological processes in cities and resulted in a major challenge for urban stormwater control. This study uses the urban stormwater model to evaluate the performance and costs of low impact development (LID) scenarios in a micro urban catchment. Rainfall-runoff data of three rainfall events were used for model calib...
متن کاملRole of Resilience in Sustainable Urban Stormwater Management
Typically, best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to help sustainable stormwater management in urban areas. Over recent decades the selection of urban stormwater management measures for a site has been a challenge among urban planners where thecriterion based on flood volume no longer suffices for selecting urban drainage solutions. Therefore there is a need to consider a set of holis...

Methods for Optimizing Urban Wet-Weather Control System
To minimize impacts of urban nonpoint source pollution and associated costs of control (storage and treatment) associated with wet-weather flows (WWFs), stormwater runoff volumes and pollutant loads must be reduced. A number of control strategies, so-called “best management practices” (BMPs) are being used to mitigate runoff volumes and associated nonpoint source (diffuse) pollution due to WWFs...
