Constructed wetlands provide several benefits that are not solely limited to storm water management and are becoming common in storm water management. In this research, four recently constructed wetlands underwent in situ and laboratory water sampling to determine their efficiency in removing storm water pollutants over a 5-month period. From the sampling results, it was determined that each of the wetlands was able to reduce the concentration of pollutants in the stormwater. To aid in the assessment of the wetlands against each other, a model was developed to determine the extent of removal of stormwater pollutants over the length of the wetland. The results from this model complimented the data collected from the field. Improvements, such as increased amounts of vegetation were recommended for the wetlands with the aim of increasing the effectiveness. Further investigations into the wetlands will allow for better understanding of the wetland's performance.

As sewer flooding frequents due to localized and concentrated stormwater and increased non-permeable surface area after urbanization, building cities with sound water recycle and accordingly efficient management of rainwater is demanded. To do this, the existing sewage (including rainwater) fee imposition system should be philosophically evaluated. This study presents problematic issues of the existing domestic sewage fee imposition system considering the principle of sharing costs on the service of sewage and rainwater collection and treatment. Four methods to improve the existing sewage fee imposition system are suggested: 1) imposing stormwater fee according to Polluter Pays Principle, 2) clarification of the share of public sector, 3) reducing or exempting the sewerage fee for inhabitants reducing urban runoff by constructing their own rainwater management facilities, 4) imposing charge for discharging rainwater to sewers due to new development action. Short, mid, or long term planning for rainwater management is recommended considering the situation of each municipality.

This study attempted to develop and suggest a more appropriate method for the determination of event mean concentration (EMC) and pollutant removal efficiency of a stormwater best management practice (BMP) considering rainfall. The stormwater runoff and hydrologic data gathered from 22 storm events during a 28-month monitoring period on a swirl and filtration type of BMP were used to evaluate the developed methods. Based on the findings, the modified EMC method resulted in lower (average) values than the overall EMC, although the differences were not significant (P>0.05). By comparison, the developed 'Rainfall Occurrence Ratio' (ROR) method was most significantly correlated (r=0.967 to 988, P<0.009) with the other existing removal efficiency determination methods such as the 'Efficiency Ratio' (ER), 'Summation of Loads' (SOL) and 'Regression of Loads' (ROL) methods. In addition, the ROR method gave the highest efficiency values, with no significant differences with any of the pollutant parameters, unlike the other three methods. These results were obtained because the ROR method integrated both pollutant loading and rainfall, which are not considered by the other three methods. Therefore, this study proved the suitability of the modified EMC and ROR methods for application in other BMP monitoring studies.

The sponge city construction is being carried out in China, and how to reasonably determine the scale of the sponge city facilities is a key point that the planners and designers should seriously solve. In this paper, taking determination of the sponge city facilities in a residential building in Shenzhen as an example, the layout and scales of the rainwater tanks, raingardens, ecological roofs and permeable pavements are decided by using the volumetric method and stormwater management model (SWMM). The calculated results by the two methods are compared and analyzed. The results show that the scales of the sponge city facilities determined by the two methods are almost the same, and it means that any method can be used to determine the scale of sponge city facilities. The volumetric method is relatively simple, and it is suggested to use to determine the scale of sponge city facilities during planning stage. While SWMM is more complex and requires a lot of input conditions, but it can provide the reduction effects of the sponge city facilities for rainfalls with different recurrence periods. Therefore, SWMM is recommended to use the calculation of the hydrological process of the sponge city facilities during the design stage.

본 연구에서는 방사형 흐름을 가지는 지표 유출수에 대한 오염물질의 초기세척현상 모의를 통하여 주차장과 같은 소규모 불투수 배수구역에서 발생하는 수렴형 강우유출수의 동적 유출특성에 대한 일반적 특성을 고찰하고, 이를 토대로 비점오염저감시설의 초기우수처리 효과를 극대화 시킬 수 있는 집수시설 배치 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 1차원 확산파 방정식(diffusion wave equation)과 오염물질 운송방정식을 이용하여 이상적인 방사형 불투수 배수구역에 대한 초기세척현상을 모의 하고, 이 결과를 이용하여 배수구역의 크기에 따른 오염물질의 초기세척강도를 산정 비교하였다. 초기세척 모의결과, 생화학적 산소요구량의 경우 평균경사도 0.02에서 배수구역의 길이 30-50m 범위일 때 초기세척강도가 가장 높았다. 이러한 결과는 주차장과 같은 소규모 불투수 구역에서는 강우유출수 집수시설의 위치와 갯수를 조정함으로써 배수구역의 길이 변경이 가능하며 이를 통하여 초기세척 강도와 첨두부하를 인위적으로 조절 가능함을 시사한다. 특히 초기우수수 처리에 중점을 둘 경우 집수시설의 위치와 갯수를 적절히 조절하여 초기세척 강도를 상승시킴으로써 동일한 용량의 비점오염저감시설로 보다 많은 오염물질 부하저감을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 강우유출수를 비용효율적으로 관리하기 위해 저영향개발 (Low Impact Development, LID)과 자연기반해법(Nature-based solution, NBS)를 도입하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LID 시설 중 도심지 내 적용가능하고 유입부에 침강지가 조성된 침투도랑(IT)과 소규모 인공습지(SCW) 등 2개의 시설에 대해 효율성을 평가하였다. 효율성 평가는 장기간의 모니터링을 통한 자료를 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석결과 하절기 기간은 식생의 흡입 등의 생물학적 활동으로 인하여 SCW의 효율이 더 높았으나, 동절기 기간에는 식물의 고사로 인하여 IT의 효율이 더 높은것으로 분석되었다. 침강지 내 퇴적물의 분석결과 SCW 침강지 내 식생에 의한 정화작용 및 미생물등의 생물학적 처리기작으로 인하여 COD와 TN의 저감효율이 높은것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 침강지 시설을 조성한 LID 시설에 대해 비교하였으며, 자연과 유사한 자연기반해법을 LID 시설에 적용할 경우 기존 시설보다 처리효율이 우수한것으로 나타났다.

The control of nonpoint source pollution is essentially needed to successfully perform the Total Maximum Daily Load program. Of the various land uses in the nonpoint source, the paved areas such as a parking lot and a bridge are stormwater intensive land uses because of high imperviousness and high pollutant mass emissions. This research was performed to understand the magnitude and nature of the stormwater emissions with the purposes of quantifying stormwater pollutant concentrations and mass emission rates from a parking lot and a bridge. Two monitoring sites in Kongju city were equipped with an automatic rainfall gages and an automatic flow meter for accumulating the data such as rainfall, water quality and runoff flow rates. This paper will summarize the metal concentration changes during the storm duration and metal EMCs to characterize the concentration profiles in a parking lot and a bridge. Also a new concept, dynamic EMC, will be proposed to find the relationship between EMC and first flush effect. It can be used to determine the economical treatment criteria in best management practices.

In this study the optimal volume for non-point source control retention is estimated considering spatio-temporal variation of land surface. The 3-parameter mixed exponential probability density function is used to represent the statistical properties of rainfall events, and NRCS-CN method is applied as rainfall-runoff transformation. The catchment drainage area is divided into individual $30m{\times}30m$ cells, and runoff curve number is estimated at each cell. Using the derived probability density function theory, the stormwater probability density function at each cell is derived from the rainfall probability density function and NRCS-CN rainfall-runoff transformation. Considering the antecedent soil moisture condition at each cell and the spatial variation of CN value at the whole catchment drainage area, the ensemble stormwater capture curve is established to estimate the optimal volume for an non-point source control retention. The comparison between spatio-temporally varied land surface and constant land surface is presented as a case study for a urban drainage area.

This study investigated the chemical properties of Organic Soil Amendments (OSAs) made from organic waste. It also assessed the effectiveness of using these OSAs in the soil layer of Green Infrastructure (GI) to reduce stormwater runoff and non-point source pollutants. The goal was to improve the national environmental value through resource recycling and contribute to the circular economy transformation and carbon neutrality of urban GI. The OSAs used in this study consisted of spent coffee grounds and food waste compost. They were found to be nutrient-rich and stable as artificial soils, indicating their potential use in the soil layer of GI facilities. Applying OSAs to bio-retention cells and permeable pavement resulted in a reduction of approximately 11-17% in stormwater runoff and a decrease of about 16-18% in Total Phosphorus (TP) discharge in the target area. Increasing the proportion of food waste compost in the OSAs had a positive impact on reducing stormwater runoff and pollutant emissions. This study highlights the importance of utilizing recycled resources and can serve as a foundation for future research, such as establishing parameters for assessing the effectiveness of GI facilities through experiments. To enable more accurate analysis, it is recommended to conduct studies that consider both the chemical and biological aspects of substance transfer in OSAs.

강우시 표면유출에 의해 지표수에 유입되는 우수에는 토사를 포함한 각종 비점오염 물질이 다량 포함되어 있으며 이는 지표수의 수질관리에 부정적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 유역의 오염물질이 수계에 도달하기 전에 처리하는 것이 바람직하며 따라서 강우유출수를 처리하는 다양한 방법들이 시도되고 있다. 그러나 일반적인 빗물오염 제어시설 및 장치들은 설치 및 유지관리를 위해 많은 노력과 비용을 요구하는 문제점 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유역의 초기우수에 의한 오염을 제어하기 위해 경제적으로 타당하고 설치 및 관리가 용이한 섬유 필터를 이용하여 부유물질을 제거할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 여재는 경제적이면서 내구성이 우수한 폴리에스터계열의 섬유 필터를 사용하였으며, 연구 대상지역 강우유출수의 입도분석 결과에 따라 $20{\mu}m{\sim}94{\mu}m$ 범위에서 다양한 공극의 여재에 대한 성능을 실험을 통해 분석하였다. 수두별 여과성능을 분석하기 위한 실험 장치를 고안 제작하여 필터 공극에 따른 섬유 필터의 TSS 제거 효율을 평가 하였다. 수두가 높을수록 여과속도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며 공극별 여과 속도를 측정하여 분석하였다. 섬유 필터의 공극 크기가 작을수록 TSS 제거효율이 증가되었으나, 공극별 TSS 제거 효율은 대체적으로 양호하나 유사한 편으로서 TSS의 대부분의 질량은 입자의 크기가 큰 부분에 치중되어 있는 것이 주요 원인으로 분석된다.
