Due to urbanization and increase in impervious area, changes in natural water circulation system have become a cause of groundwater recharge reduction, streamflow depletion and other hydrological problems. Therefore, this study developed the infiltration planter techniques applied in an LID facility treating roof stormwater runoff such as, performance of small decentralized retention and infiltration through the reproduction of natural water circulation system and use of landscape for cleaning water. Assessment of an infiltration planter was performed through rainfall monitoring to analyze the water balance and pollutant removal efficiency. Hydrologic assessment of an infiltration planter, showed a delay in time of effluent for roof runoff for about 3 hours and on average, 79% of facilities had a runoff reduction through retention and infiltration. Based on the analysis, pollutant removal efficiency generated in the catchment area showed an average of 97% for the particulate matter, 94% for the organic matter and 86-96% and 92-93% for the nutrients and heavy metals were treated, respectively. Comparative results with other LID facilities were made. For this study, facilities compared the SA/CA to high pollutant removal efficiency for the determination to of the effectiveness of the facility when applied in an urban area.

In 2014, the city of Seoul revised the ordinance regarding water-cycle restoration in the Seoul Metropolitan areas by incorporating the 'Low Impact Development (LID)' policy. The new ordinance plan will utilize 630 mm or almost 45 to 50% of annual rainfall until 2050 by means of providing a rainwater management system consisting of infiltration, retention and vegetation. The LID is believed to be the key to achieving the target requirements, specifically in development projects. This research was performed to evaluate the stormwater runoff and pollutant reduction performance of three different LID facilities (water circulation facilities) including an infiltration inlet, bioretention swale, and permeable pavement constructed in Seoul City. Results show that among the water circulation facilities, the permeable pavement achieved the highest runoff reduction as it was able to entirely capture and infiltrate the runoff to the ground. However, in order to attain a long-term performance it is necessary to manage the accumulated sediment and trapped pollutants in the landscape areas through other water circulation techniques such as through soil erosion control. In terms of pollutant reduction capability, the infiltration inlet performed well since it was applied in highly polluted areas. The bioretention facility integrating the physico-chemical and biological mechanisms of soil, microorganisms and plants were able to also achieve a high runoff and pollutant reduction. The water circulation facilities provided not only benefits for water circulation but also various other benefits such as pollutant reduction, ecological restoration, and aesthetic functions.

One of the alternative runoff management measures is on-site runoff mitigation, such as rainwater retention tank and infiltration facilities especially the latter that is possible to manage simultaneously runoff quality and quantity as a perspective of water-cycle. This study was conducted to develop a particle separator, inclined-pipe settling system, that could improve particle removal efficiency of road runoff as a pre-treatment device of stormwater infiltration. Solid particles larger than $100{\mu}m$ are separated by simple sedimentation; however, the significant amount of pollutants with a diameter less than $100{\mu}m$ remain in suspension. Without any treatment in that case of the runoff into infiltrate, groundwater would be deteriorated and also infiltration rate would be decreased by clogging. Therefore, we suggest optimal design parameters (inclined angle, pipe length, and surface loading rate) of inclined-pipe settling system which can be designed to effectively remove particles diameter smaller then $70{\mu}m$. Thus, the results showed TSS removal efficiency more than 80% with a particle diameter between $20{\mu}m$ and $70{\mu}m$, 100% above particle diameter $70{\mu}m$ for the inflow rate $0.018 m^3/m^2{\cdot}hr$ with pipe inclined at angle $15^{\circ}$.

Agriculture, rural landscapes are accompanied by a variety of environmental issues. Therefore, it is necessary to study on biodiversity and ecosystem services. Horticulture complex is low groundwater recharge function, it can be evaluated as a facility that biodiversity is impaired. The ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes were obtained 19 kinds of functions. Experts survey Groundwater recharge function (4.13) teeth chapter higher, Water storage (4.05), Amphibian & Reptile habitat (3.96), Aquatic insect habitat (3.92), Flood control (3.87), Water purification (3.86), Avian habitat (3.76 ), Creating landscape (3.74), Vegetation diversity (3.71), Experience, Education (3.69), Biological control (3.48), Fishery habitat (3.42), Climate regulation (3.30), Mammal habitat (3.30), Air quality regulation (3.25 ), Mainenance of genetic diversity (3.25), were analyzed in order Rest area (3.14).

호우로 인한 도시 지역의 침수는 빗물받이의 능력 부족, 우수관로 용량 부족 등 다양한 요인에 의하여 발생한다. 구체적으로 빗물받이 능력 부족으로 인한 침수는 노면에 떨어진 우수가 빗물받이로 유입하지 못하고 지표면을 유하하여 저지대에 빗물이 모여 발생하게 되며 우수관로의 용량부족은 설계 강우 이상의 호우가 발생하거나 하류 배수위 영향으로 인하여 우수관로 내 만관이 발생하여 맨홀 월류로 인하여 침수가 발생하게 된다. 도시지역의 침수를 경감하기 위해서는 구조적, 비구조적인 대책을 마련할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 국부적인 노면 침수가 발생하는 주요 도로 주변부의 침수발생을 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 구조적 대책 중 하나인 UHPC 저류침투시설 도입에 따른 홍수저감 효과를 수리수문학적 분석하는 방법을 개발하였다. 분석 절차는 ① 대상지역 현황 분석을 위한 관망도, 수치지형도, 토지피복도, 토양도 등 관련 자료의 조사 ② 침수 발생 현황 및 시설물 설치에 따른 효과분석을 위한 강우분석 ③ 주요 호우 시 대상지역 침수발생 현황 분석 ④ 저수지 홍수추적 기법을 활용한 저류침투시설 도입효과 계산 ⑤ 주요 호우별 홍수조절효과 분석결과를 기초로 저류침투시설 도입에 따른 침수 저감 효과를 2차원으로 검토의 5개 단계로 이루어진다. 노면을 따라서 유하 또는 맨홀 월류에 의해 저류 침투시설로 유입하는 우수의 홍수조절 효과 분석은 연구에서 개발한 스프레드시트 기반 저수지 홍수추적 기법을 활용하여 분석하였으며 강우-유출량 중 10 %가 시설물로 유입하는 가정 조건하에 시설물로 유입하는 우수의 저류-침투-방류를 동시에 고려하여 계산하였다. 다만, 저류침투시설로 유입하는 노면 유출수의 정량적 수치는 자연적 요인 및 다양한 제약 조건에 따라 큰 차이가 있을 수 있으며 불확실성이 높으므로 노면 유출수의 저류침투시설 유입량의 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

At present, the development in rainwater management approach is still insufficient due to the numerous adverse effects of urbanization. Storm water management is being developed to restore the natural state of water cycle undergoing several processes which were hindered such as infiltration and evapotranspiration. Low Impact Development (LID) was established in order to reduce the negative effects of urbanization to our environment. These developments can be used to respond to the effects of climate change such as heat island phenomenon. The effects of the development of new town in the district plan with application of LID facilities were studied and reported. Typically, LID facilities were applied in small scale development and were rarely used in large-scale development. Most of studies, however, did not assessment the effects of large-scale development projects with LID application to the natural water cycle. This study was conducted to simulate the urban hydrologic cycle simulation on Asan-Tangjeong in Korea. This study may be used in urban hydrologic cycle simulation and establishment of an urban water management plan in the future. Lastly, this study generated a model using the recently updated SWMM5 which determined the hydrologic cycle simulation after installation of LID facilities.
