Due to abnormal climate patteZns, recent extreme weather events such as floods, occurring more frequently than once in a century, have become a common occurrence. This has resulted in frequent urban flooding due to the inadequate capacity of sewage pipelines, originally designed to handle floods occurring once every 20 to 30 years. To tackle this situation, measures such as partial flow retention through reservoirs, flood control facilities, and underground tanks have been implemented. In this study, the Storm Water Management Model, a sewage pipeline model developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), was used to analyze the flow capacity of sewage pipelines on the campus of Daegu University and to conduct research on pollutant reduction through superior control facilities. When the allowable flow velocity, ranging from 0.8 m/s to 3.0 m/s, could not be met, the slope of the sewage pipeline was adjusted through step junctions. The simulation demonstrated a 20% reduction in peak flow, decreasing from 0.69 cm/s to 0.55 cm/s, through the implementation of flow regulation facilities. It is anticipated that the findings of this study can serve as valuable data for adjusting flow velocity and reducing peak flow within the pipelines.
