Using mathematical modelling to inform on the ability of stormwater ponds to improve the water quality of urban runoff.

چکیده
This paper concerns the mathematical modelling of flow and solute transport through stormwater ponds. The model is based on appropriate lumped system conservation equations that are solved using standard numerical techniques. The model was used to route a first flush pollution scenario through a cylindrical pond for 16 combinations of elevation and diameter of a submerged pipe outlet, in conjunction with a high level weir. Higher pipe elevations and smaller pipe diameters created larger pond volumes and hence led to greater dilution of the pollutant. In contrast, lower pipe elevations created larger storage volumes, leading to better flow attenuation. Interestingly, larger pipe diameters improved peak flow attenuation, even though the storage used decreased.

Comparison of storage requirements for two different stormwater harvesting strategies
As stormwater flows are intermittent, the requirement to store urban runoff is important to the design of a stormwater re-use scheme. In many urban areas, the space available to provide storage is limited and thus the need to optimise the storage volume becomes critical. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of two different approaches of providing storage: 1) a single storag...
متن کاملEvaluating the effect of water harvesting methods on urban runoff (Case study: Birjand urban watershed)
New approaches to urban runoff management seek to reduce the volume and discharge of rainfall peaks as well as the amount of pollutants in urban areas to a level that is reminiscent of rainfall runoff in the decades before urban development. SWMM software is one of the best models to help in this field and it can be used to study the effects of using water harvesting methods on the volume of ru...
متن کاملChallenges and developments of bioretention facilities in treating urban stormwater runoff; A review
Bioretention or rain garden is a preferable low impact development (LID) approach due to its characteristics which reflect natural water cycle processes. However, this system is still little understood and quite complicated in terms of design and implementation due to many technical considerations. Hence, this paper gives a review of the challenges and developments for the use of bioretention f...

متن کاملBiomonitoring of wet-weather flow impacts on fine sediments in urban waters: Canadian and French experience
Benthic invertebrate assessments can be used to gauge the impact of urban wetweather flows in receiving waters. Experiences from Cemagref in France have shown that standardized benthic indices (e.g. Oligochaete Index of Sediment Bioindication IOBS) can be used to reliably determine the ecological status of urban streams and can be incorporated into the new European Water Framework Directive. Th...
