A rainwater utilization facility consists of its catchment area, treatment facility, storage tank, supply facility and pipes in general. The rainwater storage tank which occupies the largest area of the facility has been usually considered quantitatively for determining the storage capacity. Hence, there is little information on water quality improvement by sedimentation in a rainwater storage tank in operation. In this study, we measured the rainwater quality in a rainwater storage tank in operation during late spring and summer, and showed water quality improvement of turbidity removal of 25~46% by sedimentation in a rainwater storage tank under a fixed water level without inflow and outflow after runoff ceased. It is necessary to have a considerable distance between the inlet and outlet of the tank and, if possible, it is recommended that the design should allow for an effective water depth of over 3 m and supply rainwater near the water surface. The operation method which increases the retention time by stopping rainwater supply for insuring low turbidity is recommended when the turbidity of rainwater runoff is high. And also more efficient operation and maintenance of the rainwater utilization facility is expected through the tailored design and operation of the facility considering particle removal and behavior.

The Storm Water Management Model(SWMM) by EPA is a dynamic rainwater-runoff simulation model used for single event or long-term simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas. The SWMM simulation program is operated by the site area, the weather date, conduit plan etc. on reference region. The purpose of this study was to analyze flood area, the duration of flooded and surcharged on the reference region. Without rainwater stored tank, the area of flooded and surcharged on reference area is similar to the area of reference region. But, With rainwater stored tank, the area of flooded and surcharged on reference area is much reduced compared to without rainwater stored tank. According to SWMM simulation results, the rainwater stored tank is located closer to site is more effective for reduction of duration of flooded and surcharged and flow rate.

Since the end of the 1990s, sewer pipe improvement works have been going on: most septic tanks have been thrown away and discarded. These discarded septic tanks amounts up to 370,000 based on the project plan 2005-2008: it is a serious squander of nation's resources, a contaminating means that buries toxins under soil, and a cause of a expensive waste. Research on recycling of discarded septic tank as a new resource is in urgent need. This research suggests plans to recycle discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility, solutions to water cycle recovery in the limelight, and economic analysis of the plan. In the case of a recycling discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility will socially benefit to support economical adequacy, discard cost saving of septic tank and water supply and sewage cost reduction will come out. Consequently a rainwater management facility converted from a discarded septic tank leads to decentralization of the rainwater management system, which anticipates a positive effect on recovery of urban water cycle.

Recently, rainwater harvesting facilities have increasingly constructed mainly in elementary schools and government buildings. Nevertheless, few methods are available for efficient planning and design of rainwater harvesting facilities by considering the weather conditions and purpose of rainwater management in each site, which may lead to a construction of uneconomic facilities. The current method estimates the size of rainwater storage tank by multiplying the size of building or plottage with a certain ratio and has many limitations. In this study, we first developed a method for planning and design of rainwater storage facilities using $Rainstock^{TM}$ model, which is based on mass balance, and economic analysis. Then, the model was applied for the design of a rainwater harvesting facility in a building with the catchment area of $1,000m^2$. The model calculation indicated that the economic feasibility of rainwater harvesting depends on not only the size of storage tank but also the water usage rate. When the water usage rate is $1m^3/day$, the rainwater harvesting facility is not cost-effective regardless of the size of the storage tank. With increasing the water usage rate, the economical efficiency of the facility was improved for a specific size of the storage tank. Based on the model calculation, the optimum tank sizes for $5m^3/day$ and $10m^3/day$ of water usage rates were $24m^3$ and $57m^3$, respectively. It is expected that the model is useful for optimization of rainwater storage facilities in planning and designing steps.

Nowadays, a source of all water, which has been spent by a lot of people, is the rainwater The rainwater is directly relating human being' life. According to how to use rainwater. human being' life is abundant or poor. Due to the lack of underground filtration quantity, the water circulation of the city is discontinued and the underground ecosystem is destroyed. This study suggest that the unused underground space of building and temporary structure can be used into rainwater storage tank in the facility to use rainwater. Moreover, in this study, while the building is constructed, It is showed that the water used in construction can be replaced in the rainwater.

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS), one of measures for on site rainwater management, have been promoted by laws, regulations and guidelines and have been increased. However, more evaluation of economic feasibility on RWHS is still needed due to seasonal imbalance of rainfall and little experiences and analysis on design and operation of RWHS. In this study, we investigated tank capacity of RWHS to secure economic validity considering catchment area and water demand, which is affected by building scale. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the effect of design factors, cost items and increase rate of water service charge on economic feasibility. The BCR (benefit cost ratio) is proportional to the increase in tank capacity. It is increased steeply in small tank capacity due to the effect of cost and, since then, gently in middle and large tank capacity. In case of 0.05 in the rate of tank volume to catchment area and 0.005 in water demand to catchment area, BCR was over one from the tank capacity of 160 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private benefits and from the tank capacity of 100 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private and public benefits. Sensitivity analysis shows that increase of water demand can improve BCR values with little cost so that it is needed to extend application of rainwater use and select a proper range of design factor. Decrease of construction and maintenance cost reduced the tank volume to secure economic validity. Finally, increase rate of water service charge had considerable impact on economic feasibility.

This study evaluated the economic aspect of the rainwater harvesting facilities by hydrologically analyzing the inflow, rainwater consumption, rainfall loss, tank storage, and overflow time series to derive the net rainwater consumption and the number of days of rainwater available. This study considers several rainwater harvesting facilities in Seoul National University, Korea Institute of Construction Technology and Daejon World Cup Stadium and the results derived are as follows. (1) Increasing the water consumption decreases the number of days of rainwater available. (2) Due to the climate in Korea, a larger tank storage does not increase the amount and the number of days of water consumption during wet season (June to September), but a little in October. (3) Economic evaluation of the rainwater harvesting facilities considered in this study shows no net benefit (private benefit). (5) Flood reduction effect of rainwater harvesting facilities was estimated very small to be about 1% even in the case that 10% of all the basin is used as the rainwater collecting area.

최근 기후변화로 인해 강우강도 및 빈도의 증가에 따른 국지성 집중호우의 피해가 증가함에 따라 초기 우수에 대응할 수 있는 시설물 설치가 필요한 실정이다. 이를 위해, 빗물을 직접 유출하지 않고 저류 시키는 저영향 개발(Low Impact Development)기법을 적용한 시설물 설계 및 수치모형을 이용한 유출저감효과 검토에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 대부분의 연구는 유출저감효과에 대한 검토만 수행된 반면, 시설물에 유입되는 유량에 의한 흐름특성 변화 검토 및 안정성 검토에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 LID 기법이 많이 적용되고 있는 회전교차로를 대상으로 하여, 회전교차로 내의 우수저류조의 관망시스템의 안정성 검토를 3차원 수치모형인 FLOW-3D를 사용하여 검토하였다. 또한 우수저류조의 최적의 설계방안 도출을 위하여 우수저류조의 수를 증가하여 용량증가에 따른 유속과 동압의 변화를 검토하고 설계기준과 비교하였다. 우수저류조의 제원 및 유입유량은 선행연구에서 제시된 값을 적용하여 수치모의를 수행한 결과, 유속은 저류조 설치개소 수가 증가할수록 빨라지는 것을 확인하였고, 대부분 설계기준 범위 안에 유속이 형성되는 것을 확인하였다. 다만 추가 저류조가 3개 이상일 경우는 추가저류조관에서 유속이 3.44 m/s가 발생하여 설계유속의 허용범위를 초과하였고, 유속의 증가율도 일정해지는 것으로 나타났다. 난류강도 및 바닥전단력 비교의 경우, 저류조 설치 개소수가 증가함에 따라 바닥전단력이 한계소류력보다 크게 나타나 유입토사의 침전은 발생하지 않을 것으로 예상되나 난류강도의 크기가 작아져 플록(Floc)형성으로 인한 토사 침전이 발생할 수 있음을 고려해야한다. 최종적으로 유속을 이용한 동압 산정 결과를 우수관 설계에 일반적으로 사용되는 압력관의 허용내압과 비교하였을 경우, 동압이 허용내압보다 작게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안한 우수저류조 제원으로 설계할 경우 추가 저류조를 2개까지 설치하는 것이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 저류조를 계속하여 설치하게 되면 배수가 원활해져 관내 유속이 빨라지고, 유속증가로 인하여 관의 마모손상 등의 문제가 일어날 수 있기 때문이다. 그러나 본 연구는 저류조의 제원 및 우수의 유입량을 가정하였고, 단순히 저류조를 추가하여 저류조 설계방안을 도출한 한계점이 있어 향후에는 다양한 저류조 형태 및 우수유입 시나리오를 적용하여 검토한다면 보다 효율적인 설계방안 도출이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

In Korea, an environment-friendly concept of "rain re-cycling" was initially introduced in apartment complex planning and designs in the late 1990s. Although its application cases are extremely few, with the growing importance of rainwater utilization, introduction of rainwater management facilities in urban areas began to drawn keen attention. In urban areas also, plans to introduce rainwater management facilities in apartment complexes as infrastructure improving living environment, such as sewage treatment facilities are very urgently required. In order to introduce rainwater management facilities as infrastructure in an apartment complex, apartment complex cases that had introduced the facilities were reviewed first. In this study, a few applied rainwater management facilities in an apartment complex were surveyed(Infiltration barrel, Rubble porosity storage tank, Underground storage tank). As a result, problems in introducing rainwater management facilities in apartment complexes in Korea were identified.
