Assessment of Stormwater Management and Storage Capacity for Urban Green Space in Shanghai City
Publication: International Low Impact Development Conference China 2016: LID Applications in Sponge City Projects
ABSTRACT
In order to relieve urban environmental problems due to stormwater runoff, approaches involving green space planning for sponge city construction was previously proposed. In the current study, water retention characteristics of 168 green space was surveyed to develop estimates of stormwater retention in Shanghai City’s center, suburbs, and outskirts. Multidisciplinary methods of community investigation, soil tests, artificial rainfall simulation experiments, and simulations in Autodesk’s Storm and Sanitary Analysis Storm Water Management Model were used. The factors affecting the capacity of stormwater management were identified and used to calculate storage estimates. The relationships among the rainfall interception capacity, runoff, soil water storage properties, and vegetative cover were analyzed, which provided the theoretical foundation for the assessment of the water-holding capacity in urban green spaces. A criterion for the selection of low impact development (LID) techniques for the Shanghai area can be developed based on the data from this study.
