To analyze changes in the water-balance before and after using decentralized rainwater management facilities, this study carried out hydrologic modeling based on data including roof planting, rainwater use, infiltration and detention facilities applied to the sites. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, the total runoff quantity after facility installation was about 24% less than before. In particular, it showed that the surface runoff declined significantly. Second, the analysis of the effects of different decentralized rainwater management facilities revealed that the rooftop planting contributed to about a 3.5 times increase in actual evaporation than before. Third, the analysis of the effect of decentralized management facilities by different rainfall events showed that it turned to have about a 30% decreasing effect after facility installation for a monthly rainfall over 500mm or so and about 50% declining effect for a monthly rainfall about 200mm. As discussed above, the study confirmed that it is important to implement decentralized rainwater management facilities to improve inevitable changes in water-balance arising from development as it would be a significant alternative for sustainable urban development.

In this study, we developed a modular rainwater infiltration system that can be applied for general purposes in urban areas to prepare for localized heavy rain caused by climatic change. This study also analyzed the system's effects on reducing runoff. An analysis of the system's effects on reducing runoff based on rainfall data and monitoring data obtained between September 2012 and December 2013 after the system was installed showed that approximately 20~22% of the runoff overflowed from the infiltration facility. Also, an analysis of the runoff that occurred during the monsoon season showed that 25% of the runoff overflowed through the storm sewer system of the urban area. These results show that the rainwater overflows after infiltrating the detention facility installed in the area during high-intensity rainfall of 100mm or higher or when precipitation is 100mm for 3~4 days without the prior rainfall. According to precipitation forecasts, torrential rainfall is becoming increasingly prevalent in Korea which is increasing the risk of floods. Therefore, the standards for storm sewer systems should be raised when planning and redeveloping urban areas, and not only should centralized facilities including sewer systems and rainwater pump facilities be increased, but a comprehensive plan should also be established for the water cycle of urban areas. This study indicates that decentralized rainwater management can be effective in an urban area and also indicates that the extended application of rainwater infiltration systems can offer eco-friendly urban development.

Until today, rainwater management was processed without disposing the peak discharge, which was due to rainfall, to provide stability against flood damage. In this process, the natural hydrologic cycle changed quickly, and because of this, some problems that could harm human beings and the environment arose. These problems need to be addressed accordingly. One of the proposals was to carry out decentralized rainwater management through a natural hydrologic cycle on site, including utilization, infiltration, detention, and retention of rainwater. This study aims to set the direction of applicable decentralized rainwater management to housing complex in Korea. Therefore, spacial properties in urban housing complexes were analysed such as the impervious area-to-land ratio, the green area-to-land ratio, artificial land-to-land ratio etc. As the result of this study, when a housing complex was small and developed by reconstruction, the impervious area, artificial land, the green area in the artificial land-to-land ratio were high. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to utilize and detain rainwater. On the other hand, those of big housing complexes in land development district were low relatively. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to infiltrate and evaporate rainwater.

Both domestic and overseas urban drainage systems have been actively researched to solve the problems of urban flash floods and the flood damage that is caused by local downpours. Recent urban planning has been designed to better manage the floods of decentralized rainfall-management systems, and the installation of green infrastructure and low-impact development (LID) facilities at national ministries has been recommended. In this study, we use the EPA SWMM model to construct a decentralized rainfall-management network for each small watershed, and we analyze the effect of the drainage-capacity improvement from the installation of the LID technologies in vulnerable areas that replaces the network-expansion process. In the design of the existing urban piping systems, it is common to increase the pipe size due to the increment of the impervious area, the steep terrain, and the sensitive entrance-ramp junction; however, the installation of green infrastructure and LID facilities will be sufficient for the construction of a safe urban drainage system. The applications of LID facilities and green infrastructure in urban areas can positively affect the recovery of the corresponding water cycles to a healthy standard, and it is expected that further research will occur in the future.

As the water-cycle is transformed by increasing of the impermeable area in process of urbanization, decentralized rainwater management facilities(infiltration, harvesting and retention facilities) as source control are considered to be a method of restoring water-cycle of urban and reducing runoff. SWMM model was used to analyse the change of water-cycle structure before and after development in A new town watershed. Modified SWMM code was developed to apply infiltration facilities. The modified SWMM was used to analyse the change of water-cycle before and after infiltration trench setup in AJ subcatchment. Changes of the impervious area by development and consequent increase in runoff were analyzed. These analyses were performed by a day rainfall during ten years from 1998 to 2007. According to the results, surface runoff increased from 51.85% to 65.25 %, and total infiltration volume decreased from 34.15 % to 21.08 % in A newtown watershed. If more than 80 infiltration trenches are constructed in AJ subcatchment, the low flow and the drought flow increases by around 47%, 44%, separately. The results of this study, infiltration trench is interpreted to be an effective infiltration facility to restore water-cycle in new town.

우리나라의 상당수의 도시지역에서 급격한 도시화로 인한 불투수면의 증가와 노후화된 하수관망으로 집중강우 시 상습적인 침수피해가 반복되고 있다. 그러나 하류지역의 하수관 크기를 확장하거나, 펌프장을 추가하는 등 배수계통의 수용량을 늘리는 기존의 중앙집중식 우수관리체계는 유역 전반에 걸쳐 일어난 도시화와 기후변화로 인한 강수량의 증가로 인한 지표유출수 문제를 근본적으로 개선하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 도시홍수 요인에 대응하는 지속가능한 우수관리방식으로 기존의 배수체계를 유지하면서 지표유출수를 최소화하고 지표면의 저류효과를 극대화하는 분산식 우수관리체계의 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 최근 침수피해가 가중되고 있는 상습침수지역에 분산식 우수관리체계를 적용하는 것을 목적으로, 대상지의 조건에 적합한 다양한 우수유출저감기법을 활용하여 상류 중류 하류에 걸쳐 조성되는 우수관리통로(Stormwater Managemnt Corridor)를 제안하였다. 연구방법으로는 수정합리식(Modified Rational Method)을 이용하여 대상지 유역 전반의 지표유출수의 발생패턴을 정량적으로 도출하였고, 연구대상지인 동두천시의 중앙동 및 생연동 지역의 지형 및 토지피복, 토양의 자연적 특성과 수계를 분석하여 유역별 특성에 따라 6가지 유형의 설계전략을 적용하였다. 연구결과는 배치도와 단면도, 상세설계도로 제시하였고, 설계안을 통해 저류가 가능한 지표유출수량을 도출함으로써 설계의 예상효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구를 통해 주로 토목적인 측면에서 계획되어왔던 우수관리체계를 조경적 관점에서 계획, 설계, 검증함으로써 도시의 그린 인프라스트럭쳐로서의 오픈스페이스의 기능적 가치를 제고하고, 상습침수지역의 지속가능한 계획과 관리에 기여하고자 한다.

In order to examine the effect of impermeable surface (rooftop, outdoor parking lot) and rainwater infiltration facilities on runoff pH, pH was measured. pH measurement spots were splash blocks accepted roof runoff of 3 sites, infiltration boxes and trenches accepted parking lot runoff and plastic rainwater harvesting facility accepted roof runoff. These measurements were operated at 3 housing complexes from 2006 to 2009. The rainwater runoff pH was influenced by the quality of the runoff surface material (concrete), the age of the building, waterproofing methods according to each housing site, antecedent rainfall conditions and others. Rain garden, infiltration boxes and trenches decreased the alkalinity of runoff by detention and infiltrating the roof and outdoor parking lot runoff. These results mean that decentralized rainwater management facilities of housing complexes can reduce effect on the outskirt aquatic ecosystem by the accumulation of substances causing pH rising in the infiltration facilities and rain garden.

불투수면(IC)이란 빗물 등의 강수가 토양 속으로 침투할 수 없는 포장 지역이라 정의할 수 있으며, 일반적으로 도시화 과정에서 형성되는 불투수면은 주로 도로(Drive way), 인도(Sidewalk), 주차장(Parking lot), 건물의 지붕(Roof) 등의 형태로 나타난다. 불투수면의 증가는 유출계수를 증가시켜 강수의 침투량 및 지하수 수위를 감소시킨다. 이로 인해 홍수기에 직접 유출량과 홍수피해를 증가시키고, 갈수기에는 하천의 건천화를 유발하여 수생태계를 악화시킨다. 미국 환경부에서는 불투수면을 저감하기 위한 주요정책으로 LID(Low Impact Development) 또는 GI(Green Infrastructure)의 도입을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시 유역의 강우-유출 및 수질 해석을 위해 SWMM모형을 구축하고, 도시 유역의 대표적인 토지이용 유형에서 불투수면 영향 저감을 위한 다양한 LID 기법을 적용하고 그 효과를 평가하였다. 모형의 보정기간은 2009년 7월 17일, 검정기간은 2009년 8월 11일이며, 강우유출발생시 측정한 실측 데이터를 사용하여 검 보정을 하였다. 아파트, 학교, 도로, 공원 등으로 구성된 복합용지에 투수성 포장(Pervious cover)과 옥상녹화(Green roof)기법을 단계별로 적용하고 유출량 및 오염부하 저감에 미치는 영향을 모의한 결과, 유역 내 불투수면이 투수면으로 전환되는 비율이 증가함에 따라 강우시 발생하는 유출량과 오염물질 부하량의 저감 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 건물 옥상 녹화 및 주차장과 도로에 투수성 포장을 적용한 경우, 총 유출량은 15~61 %의 저감효과를 보였으며, 오염부하량에 대해서는 TSS 22~72 %, BOD 23~71 %, COD 22~71 %, TN 15~79 %, TP 9~64 %의 저감효율을 나타냈다.
