Globally, due to climate change and urbanization, problems with water cycle destruction in urban areas frequently occur. In order to solve this problem, LID technique is being actively conducted the application in urban and research. In this study, some areas of the new city located in Busan was constructed using a widely used SWMM model to verify the effectiveness of the LID technique. This is to present a plan to maximize the efficiency of urban water cycle of the stormwater management target figure and the LID scale calculation method. In addition, the efficiency of runoff reduction using stormwater storage basin was analyzed in urban development projects. By calculating the scale of customized LID for each sub basin, the amount of runoff and peak runoff after LID application was reduced by 86.8 % and 69.5 %, respectively. Depending on the application of the stormwater storage basin, the reduction effect of peak runoff from 0.5 m³/s to 4.9 m³/s and delay effect of 8 minutes to 10 minutes was shown.

Both domestic and overseas urban drainage systems have been actively researched to solve the problems of urban flash floods and the flood damage that is caused by local downpours. Recent urban planning has been designed to better manage the floods of decentralized rainfall-management systems, and the installation of green infrastructure and low-impact development (LID) facilities at national ministries has been recommended. In this study, we use the EPA SWMM model to construct a decentralized rainfall-management network for each small watershed, and we analyze the effect of the drainage-capacity improvement from the installation of the LID technologies in vulnerable areas that replaces the network-expansion process. In the design of the existing urban piping systems, it is common to increase the pipe size due to the increment of the impervious area, the steep terrain, and the sensitive entrance-ramp junction; however, the installation of green infrastructure and LID facilities will be sufficient for the construction of a safe urban drainage system. The applications of LID facilities and green infrastructure in urban areas can positively affect the recovery of the corresponding water cycles to a healthy standard, and it is expected that further research will occur in the future.

We've compared and conceptually evaluated the newly emerging concept of nature-based solutions (NbS's), in the aspect of water management, and existing similar solutions of different naming, all of which are based on ecosystem functions. In this study, it is found that NbS's seem significant and meaningful both educationally and understandably in the aspect that it can comprehensively cover and include the existing methodologies and solutions using the functions of natural ecosystem to socio-environmental challenges. It, however, seems not quite different from the broad-meaning of green infra, including Eco-DRR, in terms of the approaching methodologies in water management. The conceptual and spatial hierarchy of each practice in water management considered in this study can be expressed in the narrowing order of NbS-(EE)-BGI-(CRT)-GI-LID. Last, the term LID, which is the best management practice for storm water management in the development project, can be replaced with the term GI for clarification and less confusion both in academia and practice.

This paper describes the application of the three sustainable design elements for a residential project in the county of Los Angeles, USA. The first design element is the green building design in which a base model will be created using the Autodesk REVIT MEP program for the analysis by Building Information Modeling (BIM) for the energy analysis modeling process to determine the energy savings for each of the recommended design features. The second element is the Low Impact Development design for the site design using specialty material and structural devices for infiltration and recycling of storm water for reuse. The third element is the application of drought tolerant plant species in the site's landscaping design as a means to conserve water. The construction cost associated with the application of these three elements will be reviewed to determine the practicality and effectiveness of this sustainable design approach.

Conventional construction technologies have been continually applied without consideration of its impact to the environment. This resulted to various problems including the negative responses of local citizens that regarded some constructed facilities as aversive facilities causing environmental and hydraulic problems in the urban area, etc. To prevent these problems, therefore, alternative methods should be undertaken. A new approach termed "Low Impact Development (LID)" technology is currently adapted in developed countries around the world. This study aims to investigate the efficiency of the developed small constructed wetland (SCW) with horizontal subsurface flow as a LID technique applicable in urban areas. Two test-bed facilities were constructed and monitoring had been conducted between July 2010 and June 2011. Based on the findings, the removal efficiencies achieved for TSS, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP, Total Fe, Total Pb for the SCW-1 were 66, 53, 46, 55, 67 and 50%, respectively. On the other hand, the SCW-2 attained 82, 62, 51, 48, 74 and 42% efficiency for TSS, $COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP, Total Fe, Total Pb, respectively. The results indicated that the removal of particulate matter and heavy metals which are considered as main pollutants from stormwater runoff in urban areas was satisfactory in the system. Therefore, the test-beds proved to be appropriate for the treatment of pollutants in urban landuses such as road, parking lot, etc. The results of this study can contribute to the conservation of aquatic ecosystems and restoration of natural water cycle in the urban areas.

This study evaluated the reduction performance of ambient temperature and the amount of evaporation that takes place depends on the temperature difference of paving blocks which are used in the sidewalk, roadway, parking lot, park, plaza, and etc. The water-retentive block of the LID (Low Impact Development) practice was compared with the conventional concrete block. For the quantitative performance evaluation, experiments were performed in a climatic environment chamber capable of controlling the climatic environment (solar radiation, temperature, humidity, rainfall, and snowfall). The method for performance evaluation was proposed using temperature, humidity, and ambient air of paving blocks which changes according to the solar radiation and the wind speed after the rainfall. As a result, the evaporation amount of the water-retentive block was 2.6 times higher than that of the concrete block, the surface temperature of water-retentive block was $10^{\circ}C$ lower than the concrete block, and the air temperature of water-retentive block was $4.6^{\circ}C$ lower than the concrete block. Therefore, it is analyzed that the water-retentive block with a large amount of evaporation is more effective in reducing the urban heat island phenomenon as compared with the concrete block.

Because of the rapid progress of urbanization in recent decades, the proportion of impervious areas in cities has increased. As a result, hydrological properties of urban streams have changed and non-point pollution sources have increased, that have had considerable influence on human life and ecosystems. To manage these situations, application of non-point pollution reduction facilities and LID facilities are expanding recently. In this study, it is investigated if rainfall interception rate used in design of non-point pollution reduction facilities can be applied to design of LID facilities. For this purpose, EPA SWMM is constructed for part of Noksan National Industrial Complex area wherein long-term observed storm water data can be obtained and storm water interception rates for various design capacities of a bio-retention LID facility reservoirs are estimated. While sensitivity of storm water interception rate according to design specifications of bio-retention facility is not large, sensitivity of storm water interception rate according to regional rainfall characteristics is relatively large. As a result of comparing present rainfall interception rate estimation method with the one proposed in this study, the present method is highly likely to overestimate performance of the bio-retention facility. Finally, a new storm water interception rate formula for bio-retention LID facility is proposed.

기후변화로 인해 예측하기 어려운 강우패턴의 변화와 도시화로 인한 불투수면의 증가로 도심지는 매년 침수위험에 노출되어 있다. 배수시설의 개선은 인구밀도가 높고 유동인구가 많은 도심지에서 이루어지기 쉽지 않은 상황이며, 강우패턴의 변화는 예측과 대처가 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 이유로, 침투증진을 통해 직접유출수를 줄이는 연구 중 LID(Low Impact Development)에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. LID기법은 도시화로 증가된 불투수면을 투수면으로 대체하여 저류, 침투, 여과, 증발산을 유도하여 물 순환 회복에 기여할 수 있는 방법으로 옥상녹화, 투수성포장, 침투 트렌치 등의 기술요소가 있다. LID 기술요소에 대해 국외의 경우 설치방안과 평균적인 저감효과를 메뉴얼로 제시하고 있지만, 강우 및 토지의 지역적 편차가 큰 국내에 적용하기에는 어려운 상황이다. 또한, LID 모델링의 경우 유역 내 적용 면적에 따른 유출저감효과를 제시하는 연구결과는 다수 제시되고 있지만, 적용 면적과 지점에 따라 효율성을 제시하는 점에서는 다소 미흡한 상황이다. 따라서 LID 기술요소 별 설계 사례와 GIS를 바탕으로 유역 내 적용 지점과 면적을 산출하고, 적용 지점 및 면적에 따른 저감 효율을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 SWMM모형을 이용하여 LID 기술요소 중 옥상녹화를 적용하여, 강우 강도와 적용지점 및 면적에 따른 유출저감 효율을 분석하고자 한다. 연구지역은 청계천 유역으로 총 면적의 75% 이상이 주거지, 상업지, 교통시설 등을 포함한 불투수면으로 이루어져있는 도시 지역이다. 강우자료는 10년, 30년, 80년 빈도 확률강우량을 적용하였으며, 옥상녹화를 적용하기 위한 지점과 면적은 GIS를 기반으로 산정하였다.

최근 도시화에 따른 투수면적의 감소인한 우수 유출량의 증가로 비점오염 및 도시 침수피해에 대한 문제가 증가하고 이에 따른 유역관리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 불투수면적의 특성으로 인한 도시 비점오염의 축적량 증가와 함께 적은 강우에도 유출이 발생되고 이로 인한 세척효과에 의해 고농도의 비점오염원을 하천으로 유출시키게 된다. 이러한 우수 유출 및 비점오염원 관리방안으로 저영향개발(LID;Low Impact Development) 기법에 의한 우수유출량의 저감과 수질개선효과를 연구할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전주시 송천동 지역을 대상으로 관측자료를 이용하여 SWMM모형을 구축하였고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 LID기법 중 하나인 Bioretention과 저류조용량(900, 1050, 1200, $1350m^3$)을 고려한 수질개선 효과를 분석하였다. 송천동 지역에 대한 저류조 및 Bioretention 적용에 따른 수질 개선효과를 비교한 결과 SS는 무시설의 경우 평균 100.08mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 83.40mg/L(17% 감소), 2) 식생저류지의 경우 86.27mg/L(14% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 79.43mg/L(21% 감소)로 평가되었다. BOD는 무시설의 경우 평균 15.24mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 13.37mg/L(12% 감소), 2) 식생 저류지의 경우 12.29mg/L(19% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 11.81mg/L(22% 감소)로 나타났다. T - P는 무시설의 경우 평균 1.09mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 0.96mg/L(12% 감소), 2) 식생저류지의 경우 0.84mg/L(22% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 0.78mg/L(28% 감소)로 수질이 개선되었다. 저류조와 식생저류지 적용에 따른 SS의 경우, 식생저류지를 적용했을 경우보다 저류조를 적용했을 경우 수질농도가 더 많이 저감되는 것으로 산정되었다. BOD와 T - P의 경우 저류조를 적용했을 경우보다 식생저류지를 적용했을 경우 수질농도가 저감 되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 저류조와 식생저류지를 연계 적용했을 경우 각각 적용했을 경우보다 수질농도가 더 많이 저감되는 것으로 평가되며, 향후 유역 내 LID기법과 저류조 위치에 따른 효과에 대한 연구가 필요하다.
