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.

As urbanization and impermeable areas have increased, stormwater and non-point pollutants entering the stream have increased. Additionally, in the case of the old town comprising a combined sewer pipe system, there is a problem of stream water pollution caused by the combined sewer overflow. To resolve this problem, many cities globally are pursuing an environmentally friendly low impact development strategy that can infiltrate, evaporate, and store rainwater. This study analyzed the expected effects and efficiency when the LID facility was installed as a measure to improve hydrologic cycle and water quality in the Oncheon stream in Busan. The EPA-SWMM, previously calibrated for hydrological and water quality parameters, was used, and standard parameters of the LID facilities supported by the EPA-SWMM were set. Benchmarking the green infrastructure plan in New York City, USA, has created various installation scenarios for the LID facilities in the Oncheon stream drainage area. The installation and maintenance cost of the LID facility for scenarios were estimated, and the effect of each LID facility was analyzed through a long-term EPA-SWMM simulation. Among the applied LID facilities, the infiltration trench showed the best effect, and the bio-retention cell and permeable pavement system followed. Conversely, in terms of cost-efficiency, the permeable pavement systems showed the best efficiency, followed by the infiltration trenches and bio-retention cells.

Though the upper stream basin area of Gwanpyung-Cheon in Daejeon, Korea is protected as Green Belt Zone, the stream is under constant environmental pressure due to current agricultural practices and infrastructure development in its basin area. To develop appropriate integrated water resources management plan for the stream, it is necessary to consider not only water quality problems but also water quantity aspect. In this study, Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was calibrated and validated with sets of field measurements to predict for future water flow and water quality conditions for any rainfall event. While flow modeling results showed good agreement by showing correlation coefficient is greater than 0.9, water quality modeling results showed relatively less accurate levels of agreements with correlation coefficient between 0.67 and 0.87. Hypothetical basin development scenarios were developed to compare effect on stream water quality and quantity when Low Impact Development (LID) technologies are applied in the basin. The results of this study can be used effectively in decision making processes of urban development Gwanpyung-Cheon area by comparing basin management alternatives such as LID methods.

To minimize the impact of urbanization, accurate performance evaluation of Low Impact Development (LID) facilities is needed. In Korea, the method designed to evaluate large-scale non-point pollution reduction facilities is being applied to LID facilities. However, it has been pointed out that this method is not suitable for evaluating the performance of relatively small-scale installed LID facilities. In this study, a new design formula was proposed based on the ratio of LID facility area and contributing drainage area, for estimating the Stormwater Interception Ratio (SIR) for LID facilities. The SIR was estimated for bio-retentions, infiltration trenches and vegetative swales, which are typical LID facilities, under various conditions through long-term stormwater simulation using the LID module of EPA SWMM. Based on the results of these numerical experiments, the new SIR formula for each LID facility was derived. The sensitivity of the proposed SIR formula to local rainfall properties and design variables is analysed. In addition, the SIR formula was compared with the existing design formula, the Rainfall Interception Ratio (RIR).

This study presents a systematic framework to derive the best values of design and planning parameters for low impact development (LID) practices. LID was developed to rehabilitate the distorted hydrological cycle due to the rapid urbanization. This study uses Water Management Analysis Module (WMAM) to perform sensitivity analysis and multiple scenario analysis for LID design and planning parameters of Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). This procedure was applied to an urban watershed which have experienced rapid urbanization in recent years. As a result, the design and planning scenario derived by WMAM shows lower total flows and peak flow, and larger infiltration than arbitrary scenarios for LID design and planning parameters. In the future, economic analysis can be added for this application in the field.

To minimize the negative alterations in hydrologic and water quality environment in urban areas due to urbanization, Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are actively applied. In Korea, LID facilities are classified as Non-point Pollution Reduction Facilities (NPRFs), and therefore they are evaluated using the performance evaluation method for NPRFs. However, while LID facilities are generally installed in small, distributed configuration and mainly work with the infiltration process, the existing NPRFs are installed on a large scale and mainly work with the reservoir process. Therefore, some limitations are expected in assessing both facilities using the same method as they differ in properties. To solve these problems, in this study, a new method for performance evaluation was proposed with focus on bio-retention LID facilities. EPA SWMM was used to reproduce the hydrologic and water quality phenomena in study area, and SWMM-LID module used to simulate TP interception performance by installing a bio-retention cell under various conditions through long-term simulations. Finally, an empirical formula for Load Capture Ratio (LCR) was derived based on storm water interception ratio in the same form as the existing method. Using the existing formula in estimating the LCR is likely to overestimate the performance of interception for non-point pollutants in the extremely low design capacity, and also underestimate it in the moderate and high design capacity.

기후변화의 영향은 전세계적으로 재해를 가중시키는 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 인구밀도와 자산가치가 높은 도시지역의 홍수피해가 급증함에 따라 이를 방지하기 위한 대책마련이 시급히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미래의 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 방안으로 도심지역에 LID(Low Impact Development)기법을 적용하여 도시 홍수의 저감방안으로서 그 적용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 굴포천 유역을 대상으로 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 관망을 구축하고 현재 강우자료(1961~2000년)와 미래의 강우자료(KMA-A2 기후변화 시나리오, 2001~2090년)를 적용하여 현재와 미래의 강우조건에 따른 도심지역의 홍수범람 및 유출량을 산정하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 모델링된 지역 중, 기후변화 전후의 상습 홍수범람지역을 우선적으로 선정하여 LID기법을 적용하였다. 효율적인 LID기법의 적용을 위해 토지이용 변화에 따른 시나리오를 작성하고, 이에 따른 유출곡선지수(Curve Number, CN)값을 산정하여 도시홍수 범람지역 및 유출량의 변화를 검토하는데 이용하였다. 분석 결과, LID기법을 적용하였을 경우 기후변화에 따른 도심지역의 홍수 및 유출량을 현재 수준으로 낮출 수 있다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발이 완료된 도시지역에도 효율적인 LID기법의 적용에 따라 도시홍수 및 유출량을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 하나의 대응책으로써 충분한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

Stormwater reduction plays an important role in the safety and resilience to flooding in urban areas. Due to rapid climate change, the world is experiencing abnormal climate phenomena, and sudden floods and concentrated torrential rains are frequently occurring in urban basins and the amount of outflow due to stormwater increases. In addition, the damage caused by urban flooding and inundation due to extreme rainfall exceeding the events that occurred in the past increases. To solve this problem, water supply, drainage, and water supply for sustainable urban development, the water management paradigm is shifting from sewage maintenance to water circulation and water-sensitive cities. So, in this study, The purpose of this study is to examine measures to increase the resilience of urban ecosystem systems for urban excellence reduction by analyzing the effects of green infra structures and LID techniques and evaluating changes in resilience. In this study, for simulating and analysis of runoff for various stormwater patterns and LID applications, Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was used.

Active stormwater management is essential to minimize the impact of urban development and improve the hydrological cycle system. In recent years, the Low Impact Development (LID) technique for urban stormwater management is attracting attention as a reasonable alternative. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is actively used in urban hydrological cycle improvement projects as it provides simulation functions for various GI (Green Infra) facilities through its LID module. However, in order to simulate GI facilities using SWMM, there are many difficulties in setting up complex watersheds and deploying GI facilities. In this study, a model that can evaluate the performance of GI facilities is proposed while implementing the core hydrological process of GI facilities. Since the proposed model operates based on hydrological routing, it can not only reflect the infiltration, storage, and evapotranspiration of GI facilities, but also quantitatively evaluate the effect of improving urban hydrological cycle by GI facilities. The applicability of the proposed model was verified by comparing the results of the proposed model with the results of SWMM. In addition, a discussion of errors occurring in the SWMM's permeable pavement system simulation is included.

급격한 기후변화의 영향으로 강수량은 증가하는 반면 강수일수는 점차 감소하며, 지속적인 도시화로 인해 불투수 면적이 증가하여 침투량은 감소하고 우수 유출량은 증가하고 있다. 이러한 우수 유출량의 증가로 인한 홍수피해에 대한 대책으로 분산형 유출저감 시설인 저영향개발(LID)이 해결방안으로 제시되고 있다. 기존연구에서는 대부분 LID 시설별 우수 유출 저감 효과를 분석하거나, LID 시설의 설치 비율과 강우빈도를 다양하게 적용하여 유출량과 침투량 등을 분석하였다. 그러나 기후변화로 인하여 미래 호우 패턴은 과거와는 다를 것으로 예상되므로 장기적인 측면에서 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 분석을 수행할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표농도경로(RCP)에 따른 기후변화를 반영한 미래 호우사상에 대하여 LID 적용 면적 대비 최고의 효율을 나타낼 수 있는 LID 적용 비율을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 빈번하게 침수피해가 발생하는 동대문구에 위치한 용두빗물펌프장 유역을 선정하였으며, 다양한 LID 기법 중 설치가 용이한 투수성 포장과 옥상녹화, 그리고 도로와 단지에 적용성이 높고 저류기능과 여과기능 등이 있는 식생 체류지를 대상 LID 기법으로 선정하였다. 과거와 미래의 대표 호우사상에 대한 유출량을 SWMM으로 산정한 결과, 강수량은 110.5 mm에서 319.42 mm로 증가하였고, 지표 유출량은 87.346 mm에서 294.63 mm로 증가하였다. 그리고 LID 기법 중 세 가지를 모두 적용한 경우 지표면 유출량이 294.63 mm에서 100.3 mm로 가장 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 또한 저감 효율이 가장 좋은 설치 면적 비율을 도출하기 위하여 다양한 LID 설치면적 비율에 대한 분석을 하였으며, 유역전체면적대비 적용면적비에 따른 우수유출 저감율을 저감효율로 정의한 결과, LID 설치비율이 60%인 경우가 지표 유출량은 1.37, 저류량은 0.50으로 가장 큰 효율이 나타났다.
