“…Some UK regulation shows the same shortcomings (Faulkner, 1999). In the USA, regulations often demand to preserve pre-development peak flow-rates downstream of parcels (Balascio and Lucas, 2009;Fennessey et al, 2001), ignoring peaks' superposition effects (Emerson et al, 2005).…”

“…The second critic is about peak flow-rate: as stated above, provisions demanding to preserve pre-development peak flow-rate locally, can actually worsen the situation at the catchment-scale (Emerson et al, 2005;Goff and Gentry, 2006;McCuen, 1979), depending on catchment's timing characteristics. Regulations demanding a specific value of flow-rate can have adverse effects on peak flow-rate until the catchment is not completely urbanized, because superpositions between regulated and non-regulated flows can occur.…”

International audienceThe number of stormwater source control (SC) regulations adopted by local authorities is rapidly growing in many countries. We can expect that, in the near future, the hydrologic behavior of many urban and periurban catchments will reflect this diffusion. This paper discusses SC regulations through two complementary approaches: starting on three French case-studies, it analyzes how regulations are developed today and identifies a set of shortcuts in policy-making practices. Then, the hydrologic model of a periurban catchment in the Paris region is used to test the impacts that these regulations can produce if widely applied. The main finding is that inertia in policy-making, driving a singular focus on flow-rate based regulations, can produce negative impacts in the long-term. Further efforts on volume-based regulations are advocated, both in terms of research and policy-making. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved

Soil moisture retention (SMR) capacity plays a key role in estimating the direct runoff when a multi-pulse storm event occurs. It is very important to know how much SMR will be recovered during the intervals of no rain of a multi-pulse storm. This study developed a new approach for derivation of the SMR recovery curve (R-curve) at sub-daily time-scales using the Curve Number (CN) method. The methodology was applied using complex storm events in the Napa River basin, California. The R-curve is classified into three sections depending on the recovery rate of SMR during the inter-storm interval of no rain (INR), and this study defines the characteristics. The first section of the R-curve (INR 0-21 h with 0.97 mm/h) is described as gradually recovering SMR, since water is being infiltrated and the upper soil layer is not fully saturated. The second section (INR 21-36 h with 2.11 mm/h) is defined as steeply recovering S due to downward drainage (sub-surface/inter flows) and evaporation without infiltration. The third section (INR 36-68 h with 0.34 mm/h) is described as gradually decreasing recovery dependent on evaporation since percolation and drainage have almost stopped.

“…In recent years, the limitations of traditional urban drainage schemes have been acknowledged and new approaches that use more natural methods for retaining and/or disposing of storm water have been introduced ͑Emerson et al 2005;Bledsoe 2002;Niemczynowicz 1994͒. These mitigation measures are generally called best management practice ͑BMP͒, sustainable urban drainage system ͑SUDS͒, or low impact development ͑LID͒, and they include practices such as infiltration and the use of storage tanks to reduce the peak flow, increase the catchment concentration time, and retain some of the polluting components.…”

Abstract:The continuous growth of urban areas and the increasing public awareness of the environmental impacts of storm water have raised interest on the quality of the receiving water bodies. In the past two decades, many efforts have been directed at improving urban drainage systems by introducing mitigation measures to limit the negative environmental impacts of storm water. These mitigation measures are generally called best management practices ͑BMPs͒, sustainable urban drainage systems, or low impact developments, and they include practices such as infiltration and storage tanks that reduce the peak flow and retain some of the polluting materials. Choosing the best mitigation measure is still a controversial topic. To gain insight on the best technique, this study compares different distributed and centralized urban storm-water management techniques, including infiltration and storage facilities. The main objective of this study is to use modeling to assess the effects of the different urban drainage techniques. To this end, a homemade model that was developed in previous studies is applied. This model enables us to simulate both combined sewer systems and ancillary structures such as storm tanks or infiltration trenches to determine water quantity and quality characteristics. A long-term simulation is employed to account for the effects of sediments in BMPs, which generally reduce the hydraulic capacity. The results allow us to draw some conclusions on the peculiarities of BMP techniques, on the possibility of integrating different techniques for improving efficiency, and on BMP maintenance planning.
