2012) Flood reduction analysis on watershed of LID design demonstration district using SWMM5, Desalination and Water Treatment, 38:1-3, 255-261,
A B S T R AC TUrban development is the primary cause of the expansion of impervious areas. Urbanization reduces infi ltration of rainwater, increases runoff volume, and fi nally has an effect on the hydrological cycle and urban environment. To solve these problems, Low Impact Development (LID) methods have been used to restore the natural hydrology of predevelopment sites using site design techniques such as infi ltration, evaporation, and retention. SWMM5 has been developed as a model to analyze the hydrologic impacts of LID facilities. This study performed hydrologic analysis and evaluated the fl ood reduction effect of the Jangjae Stream watershed by the design of LID facilities of the rainwater management demonstration district of AsanTangjung New Town (Korea). LID facilities in this study were comprised of infi ltration trench, rain barrel, vegetation swale, etc. SWMM5 was calibrated using rainfall data of the 7th and the 14th of July, 2011 and was verifi ed using rainfall data of the 10th and the 11th of August, 2011. This study analyzed fl ood reduction effect on 50 to 100 y return period. Based on the results of this study, the reduction of fl ood peak discharge by each return period of storms was estimated to be about 7 to 15%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
