Abstract
Urban land available for flood management, particularly for the allocation of green measures, is becoming increasingly scarce, especially in many developing cities undergoing rapid urbanization. Currently, methods guiding the allocation of green measures mainly focus on planar planning, and there is a lack of framework to optimize the allocation of green measures by integrating both planar and vertical planning perspectives, so as to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of allocation, flood control performance, and economic factors. In this paper, an optimization framework for vertical collaborative allocation of green measures based on automated land use segmentation and gray-green coupled hydrodynamic calculation is proposed. The framework comprised four interrelated modules: (1) Automated land use segmentation based on Deeplabv3+ and transfer learning, and feasibility assessment of vertical layout of green measures, which were used to detect the distribution and area of urban land use and quantify the feasibility of green measures from both planar and vertical perspectives. (2) Vertical hydrodynamic-based gray-green system simulation, to realize runoff transfer and interactive calculations between multi-layered vertical green measures, as well as between these measures and the underground drainage network. (3) Establishment of a fuzzy priority evaluation model to evaluate and rank the priority of different green measures from multiple dimensions, such as flood risk and allocation feasibility. (4) The spatial allocation of green measures based on multi-objective Bayesian optimization, and the Pareto frontiers under different schemes were solved according to the results from the previous modules. Results indicated that a well-planned vertical allocation of green measures could significantly reduce the runoff discharge (by 13.97 % to 100 %) and delay the peak discharge time in the case study. The optimized green layout scheme effectively mitigated flooding in 92.55 % of the subcatchments, highlighting the importance of vertical layout optimization of urban green measures.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
