This study elicited the necessity of considering regional climate change on Low Impact Development (LID) application by evaluating its effect on LID efficiency. The relationship between climate change factors and LID efficiency was evaluated with Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) showing the increase of annual precipitation and representative evapotranspiration. Simply lowering lawn surface (LID3), a practical option to increase retention and infiltration effect, demonstrated hydrological improvement above two conventional options, bioretention with green roof (LID1) and bioretention only (LID2). High runoff reductions of applied options at RCP 4.5, supposing taking efforts for mitigating green house gases, revealed that climate change countermeasures were preferable to LID efficiencies. The increase of precipitation had more influence in hydrological change than that of reference evapotranspiration.

This study is aimed at estimating and mitigating the impact of urban development on watershed hydrology for new town experienced with dramatical change of land use from rural to urban. The climate change scenario, representative concentration pathway (RCP), revealed direct response of runoff depth to precipitation, which increased until year 2100. The types of areas for urban use in addition to climate change affected the efficiencies of bioretention, applied as a low impact development (LID). Combining different areas for urban use suggested that a possible approach to mitigate the urban development impact on watershed hydrology by supplementing captured rainfall potential from area to area and attenuating peak discharge and retarding its time of concentration.

In 2014, the city of Seoul revised the ordinance regarding water-cycle restoration in the Seoul Metropolitan areas by incorporating the 'Low Impact Development (LID)' policy. The new ordinance plan will utilize 630 mm or almost 45 to 50% of annual rainfall until 2050 by means of providing a rainwater management system consisting of infiltration, retention and vegetation. The LID is believed to be the key to achieving the target requirements, specifically in development projects. This research was performed to evaluate the stormwater runoff and pollutant reduction performance of three different LID facilities (water circulation facilities) including an infiltration inlet, bioretention swale, and permeable pavement constructed in Seoul City. Results show that among the water circulation facilities, the permeable pavement achieved the highest runoff reduction as it was able to entirely capture and infiltrate the runoff to the ground. However, in order to attain a long-term performance it is necessary to manage the accumulated sediment and trapped pollutants in the landscape areas through other water circulation techniques such as through soil erosion control. In terms of pollutant reduction capability, the infiltration inlet performed well since it was applied in highly polluted areas. The bioretention facility integrating the physico-chemical and biological mechanisms of soil, microorganisms and plants were able to also achieve a high runoff and pollutant reduction. The water circulation facilities provided not only benefits for water circulation but also various other benefits such as pollutant reduction, ecological restoration, and aesthetic functions.

Tree box filters, an example of bioretention systems, were compacted and versatile urban stormwater low impact development technique which allowed volume and water quality treatment performance to be adjusted based on the hydrologic, runoff quality and catchment characteristics. In this study, the overall performance of a 6 year-old tree box filter receiving parking lot stormwater runoff was evaluated. Hydrologic and hydraulic factors affecting the treatment performance of the tree box filter were also identified and investigated. Based on the results, the increase in rainfall depth caused a decrease in hydrologic and hydraulic performance of the tree box filter including volume, average flow, and peak flow reduction (r = -0.53 to -0.59; p<0.01). TSS, organics, nutrients, and total and soluble heavy metals constituents were significantly reduced by the system through media filtration, adsorption, infiltration, and evapotranspiration mechanisms employed in the tree box filter (p<0.001). This significant pollutant reduction by the tree box filter was also found to have been caused by hydrologic and hydraulic factors including volume, average flow, peak flow, hydraulic retention time (HRT) and runoff duration. These findings were especially useful in applying similarly designed tree box filter by considering tree box filter surface area to catchment area of less than 1 %.

As the impermeable area increases due to urbanization and industrialization, the influence of non-point pollutants caused by rainfall runoff on the water system is increasing. In the past, the best management practices(BMP) were used a lot to manage non-point pollutants, but recently, technology that naturally treats them through LID (Low Impact Development) technology is widely used. In this study, various rainfall events were simulated through the SWMM model based on the data of rainfall monitoring in bioretention among natural facilities. The characteristic of LID modeling research is that it is difficult to build accurate modeling data with short-term data because real data is the result obtained through natural facilities, and it is difficult to implement an accurate model. In this study, the data monitored for 3 years It is significant in that it has built a precise model. The actual data monitored a total of 18 times was simulated, and the inflow and outflow and the removal efficiency of five pollutants were simulated. As a result of performing the performance evaluation, most of the 7 items showed excellent indicators, and the TN and TP showed relatively low simulation performance. In the future, it is expected that Korea will introduce an integrated water management system in which the water supply system and the sewage system are substantially integrated and operated. Therefore, the results of this study are considered to play an important role in the initial stage of rainfall management in the future integrated water management system, and the extent of rainfall runoff reduction and pollutant reduction in the expected installation area can be predicted in advance. This is expected to prevent overdesign of bioretention.

As the impermeable area of soil increases due to urbanization, the water circulation system of the city is deteriorating. The existing guidelines for low impact development (LID) facilities installed to solve these water problems or in previous studies, engineering aspects are more prominent than landscaping aspects. This study attempted to present an engineering and landscaping model for reducing pollutants by identifying the effects of vegetation on rainfall outflows and pollutant reduction in bioretention and the economic aspects of planting. Based on the results of artificial rainfall monitoring at Jeonju Seogok Park and the literature on vegetation rainfall runoff and pollutant reduction performance, the best vegetation for reducing pollution compared to cost was Lythrum salicaria L and Salix gracilistyla Miq. was the best vegetation for carbon storage. If you insist to design plants with only these two plantation, there is no choice but to take risks such as biodiversity. Herbaceous plants such as Lythrum salicaria L can be replaced by death of the plants or pests if considered planting various plants. The initial planting cost could expensive, but it is also necessary to mix and plant Salix gracilistyla Miq, which are woody plants that are advantageous in terms of maintenance, according to the surrounding environment and conditions. Based on the conclusions drawn in this study, it can be a reference material when considering the reduction of pollution by species and carbon storage of vegetation in LID facilities.

Impervious areas have been expanded by urbanization and the natural structure of water circulation has been destroyed. The limits of centralized management for controlling storm water runoff in urban areas have been suggested. Low impact development (LID) technologies have been promoted as a crucial alternative, establishing a connection with city development plans to build green infrastructures in environmentally friendly cities. Thus, the improvement of water circulation and the control of nonpoint source were simulated through XP-SWMM (storm water and wastewater management model for experts) in this study. The application of multiple LID combination practices with permeable pavements, bioretention cells, and gutter filters were observed as reducing the highest runoff volume by up to 70%. The results from four different LID installation scenarios indicated that permeable paving is the most effective method for reducing storm water runoff. The rate of storm water runoff volume reduced as the rainfall duration extended. Based on the simulation results, each LID facility was designed and constructed in the target area. The LID practices in an urban area enable future studies of the analysis of the criteria, suitable capacity, and cost-efficiency, and proper management methods of various LID techniques.

지난 10년 동안, 저영향개발(LID)에 대한 관심이 증가해 왔다. LID는 도시 하천의 지속 가능성을 높이고 도시 홍수와 가뭄 및 비점오염에 대한 환경적 영향을 감소시켰다. 불투수지역이 확산됨에 따라 LID는 도시 지역의 홍수를 방지하고 수문학적 기능을 강화하기 위한 전략 중 하나로 제안되고 있다 최근 계속적인 도시화와 개발로 인해 불투수층이 증가함에 따라, 도시비점오염물질이 동반된 표면유출수가 증가하고 있다. LID는 도시 환경에서 많은 이점을 지니고 있지만 LID 구조물의 운영 및 관리와 설치에는 높은 비용이 필요하다. 반면에 수학적 모델은 적은 비용으로 LID의 수문학적 과정을 분석하고 예측할 수 있는 유용한 도구이다. EPA SWMM은 이러한 LID 예측 및 분석하는 데 많이 사용 되고 있으며, 도시 유출 관리에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 EPA SWMM의 LID 모듈의 경우, LID내의 오염물질 모의를 위한 기작이 없다. 이러한 점은 LID를 이용하여, 비점오염물질 저감을 예측하기에는 한계점을 보여준다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여, EPA SWMM LID 모듈에 오염물질 거동 기작을 추가하였다. 개발된 모형은 Bioretention과 infiltration trench를 모의를 하였으며, 모의 오염물질로는 TSS, TN, TP, COD 이다. 모의 결과 모델이 자연현상을 잘 모의 하고 있음을 보여주었다. 향후, 이 모형을 이용하여 도시 내 LID 시설의 오염물질 예측이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

급격한 도시화 및 기후변화로 인한 물순환체계가 왜곡됨에 따라 자연수재해 피해가 급증하고 있어 대응방안으로 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기법이 대두되고 있다. LID 요소 기술 중 하나인 식생저류지는 도시 유역내에서 발생하는 유출수를 저류 및 침투하여 우수유출수와 비점오염원으로 인한 오염저감 효과를 지니고 있는 LID 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 식생저류지의 우수유출수의 정량적 저감효과를 분석하기 위해 수문해석 프로그램인 K-LIDM(Korea Low Impact Development Model)을 이용하여 유역 내 식생저류지 배열과 저류용량에 따른 유출저감 효과를 분석하였다. 강우시나리오는 부산지점의 10년, 30년 발생빈도에 대하여 60분, 120분, 180분 확률강우시나리오를 선정하여 적용하였다. 모델링 분석결과 식생저류지 배치에 따라 5 ~ 15 % 이상의 유출저감효과가 산정되었으며, 식생저류지 저류용량에 따라 20 % 이상의 유출저감 효과가 산정되었다. 첨두유출 도달시간은 1.13 ~ 1.86배를 지연하는 결과가 산정되었다. 결과를 통해 식생저류지의 배열과 저류용량에 따라 유출량 저감효과와 첨두유출 도달시간에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 추후에 다른 매개변수인 식생저류지의 저류깊이, 지반의 침투능 및 유출부의 직경 등 여러 매개변수들을 고려한 연구를 수행한다면 식생저류지의 정량적 물순환 평가가 수행될것으로 사료된다.
