This study evaluates the effectiveness of different Low-Impact Development (LID) scenarios in mitigating urban flooding in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). Two key areas, an industrial zone, and a mixed residential-commercial zone, were chosen to explore how different LID implementations impact runoff. The study considers six types of LIDs, including green roofs and rain barrels for building-based scenarios; and permeable pavements, infiltration trenches, vegetative swales, and rain gardens for open space-based scenarios. The drainage network map and historical rainfall data from previous flooding events were applied in SWMM for simulation modeling using different LID scenarios: building-based, open space-based, and combined LID methods. Results show that the combined LID approach is the most effective method, reducing runoff by 26.8% and 21.1% and lowering peak runoff volumes by 7.5% and 12.6% for Block I and Block II, respectively. These scenarios demonstrate that Scenario II has a more significant impact compared to Scenario I, despite the amount of coverage area. In general, building-based LID measures alone show the least reduction in both surface runoff and peak runoff volumes. The proposed approach offers a robust solution that can shape a resilient and livable urban future.

In recent years, increases in impervious areas with rapid urbanization and land use changes are causing numerous hydrologic and environmental problems. In this study Low Impact Development (LID) was applied to investigate changes in runoff and peak runoff with LID plans. SWMM 5.0 was used to simulate LID Integrated Management Practices (IMPs) at study area. The SWMM estimated total runoff volume with conventional land use planning is (82.3%, 46.44 mm), (99%, 73.16 mm) greater than total runoff before urbanization, while total runoff with LID is (11.1%, 46.44 mm), (49%, 73.16 mm) greater than those before urbanization. With the LID adoption in land use planning, pervious area increases by 49.8% compared with that from the conventional urban land use planning, resulting in (32.7%, 46.44 mm), (23.6%, 73.16 mm) decrease in total runoff, and (32.6%, 46.44 mm), (18.5%, 73.16 mm) decreases in peak rate runoff. The results obtained from this study indicate that peak rate runoff, time to peak, and total runoff can be reduced with the LID in urban land use planning because the LID secures pervious areas with various LID IMPs. The SWMM simulated result using design storm data and the US EPA suggested CN values for various LID IMPs implies that how environment-friendly urban land use planning with the LID adoption is important for sustainable development at urbanizing watershed.

The SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) was applied to Princeton University campus, USA to predict the change of the runoff characteristics. Topography and infra structure of urban area are used in detail and watershed is made as form of regular square to improve the efficiency of data. Princeton campus was divided into 131 sub-basins and model input parameters were obtained from DEM (Digital Elevation Model), land use type, and campus management map, etc.. The model was validated based on the measured meteorological data. The validated model was used to analyze the change of the runoff characteristics according to urbanization, which are two different scenarios: 50% and 100% increase of impervious area. The increase of impervious area causes the increase of runoff, especially in the first-flush.

In order to analyze the flow and pollutant runoff characteristics of industrial area, SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) was applied. The model was calibrated based on the measured data in the waterway of Sihwa industrial complex during six events, 2008-2009. The build-up process of pollutants is expressed as Power-linear form and washoff as Power-Exponential form. The validated model was used to analyze the change of the runoff characteristics in the industrial area. In the study area, runoff flow is decreased with an increase in impervious area, but there is no significant change in peak time. The results of this study will be used as basic information of impervious area reduction and watershed management in industrial areas.

The purpose of this study is to analyze quantitatively the inundation causes by applying the prevention of performance objectives using the urban storm water runoff model XP-SWMM. The model was built by using DTM and storm sewer-network with the storm sewer and geo-data of the study area as input-data to assess the current performance of prevention. An analysis of the causes of the inundation by the frequency and the rainfall-duration. As a result, lack of pipe capacity due to flooding, as well as inundation heavier that the backwater rainfall occurs due to the rise of water level of outside. For solve the inundation damage, It is necessary to improvement pipe of capacity lack and installation of a flood control channel.

In the previous researches for storm sewer design, the flow path, pipe diameter and pipe slope were determined to minimize the construction cost. But in the sewer networks, the flows can be changed according to flow path. The current optimal sewer layout models have been focussed on satisfying the design inflow for sewer designs, whereas the models did not consider the occurrences of urban inundation from excessive rainfall events. However, in this research, the sewer networks are determined considering the superposition effect to reduce the inundation risk by controlling and distributing the inflows in sewer pipes. Then, urban inundation can be reduced for excessive rainfall events. An Optimal Sewer Layout Model (OSLM) was developed to control and distribute the inflows in sewer networks and reduce urban inundation. The OSLM uses GA (Genetic Algorithm) to solve the optimal problem for sewer network design and SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) to hydraulic analysis. This model was applied to Hagye basin with 44 ha. As the applied results, in the optimal sewer network, the peak outflow at outlet was reduced to 7.1% for the design rainfall event with 30 minutes rainfall duration versus that of current sewer network, and the inundation occurrence was reduced to 24.2% for the rainfall event with 20 years frequency and 1 hour duration.

Pollution loading of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) is frequently over the capacity of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) receiving the water. The objectives of this study are to investigate water quality of CSOs in Anmyun-ueup, Tean province and to apply Storm Water Management Model to predict flow rate and water quality of the CSOs. The capacity of a local WWTP was also estimated according to rainfall duration and intensity. Eleven water quality parameters were analyzed to characterize overflows. SWMM model was applied to predict the flow rate and pollutant load of CSOs during rain event. Overall, profile of the flow and pollutant load predicted by the model well followed the observed data. Based on model prediction and observed data, CSOs frequently occurs in the study area, even with light precipitation or short rainfall duration. Model analysis also indicated that the local WWTP’s capacity was short to cover the CSOs.

An urban inundation model coupling an one-dimensional stormwater model, SWMM(Storm Water Management Model), and a two-dimensional inundation model was developed to simulate inundation caused by the surcharge of storm sewers in urban areas. The limitation of this model which can not simulate the interaction between drainage systems and surcharged flow was resolved by developing Dual-Drainage inundation analysis model which was based upon hydraulic flow routing procedures for surface flow and pipe flow. The Dual-Drainage inundation analysis model can simulate the effect of complex storm drainage system. The developed model was applied to Dorim, catchment. The computed inundated depth and area have good agreement with the observed data during the flood events. The developed model can help the decision support system of flood control authority for redesigning and constructing flood prevention structures and making the potential inundation zone, and establishing flood-mitigation measures.

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.
