Abstract

The goal of this paper is to conduct an experimental study to evaluate the efficiency of an innovative green infrastructure named green gutter made of mineral wool as a prospective green wall to delay stormwater. The pilot is formed by an unplanted prismatic vertical column of metal filled with mineral wool with 4 meters in height, width 0,6 m, and depth 0,15 m. Along its elevation, 8 moisture sensors divided in 2 lines of 4 are embedded within the filling material to assess saturation levels, flow meters are installed in the inlet and outlet of the system. The system was tested with different flows and durations to simulate distinct rain events. The monitored parameters were peak flow reduction and, peak flow delay. From the results, it could be noted that the system's performance shows a consistent capacity to delay peak flows, on average in 15 min, but a limited capacity for peak flow reduction. Higher peak flow reductions ranging from 30% to 50% were obtained only for design rains of 10 min duration and 0.5 and 5 year return period, respectively. By effectively delaying peak flow the green gutter showed to be a promising solution to be used in stormwater strategies, focused on creating time lags of peak flows among subwatersheds.

绿色排水沟作为城市环境缓解和适应战略的基于自然的解决方案。
本文的目的是进行一项实验研究,以评估一种名为绿色沟的创新型绿色基础设施的效率,该设施由矿棉制成,作为一种潜在的绿色墙,可以延缓雨水的到来。试点由一个未种植的棱柱形垂直金属柱组成,填充有矿物棉,高4米,宽0.6米,深0.15米。沿其标高,8个水分传感器分为2行,每行4个,嵌入在填充材料中,以评估饱和度水平,流量计安装在系统的入口和出口。该系统在不同的流量和持续时间下进行了测试,以模拟不同的降雨事件。监测参数为峰流量减小和峰流量延迟。从结果中可以看出,系统的性能表现出一致的延迟峰值流量的能力,平均在15分钟内,但降低峰值流量的能力有限。仅在持续时间为10分钟的设计降雨和0.5年和5年的设计降雨时,峰值流量减少幅度分别为30%至50%。通过有效地延迟峰值流量,绿色排水沟被证明是一个很有前途的解决方案,可用于雨水策略,重点是在子流域之间创建峰值流量的时间滞后。

期刊介绍: Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management (IEAM) publishes the science underpinning environmental decision making and problem solving. Papers submitted to IEAM must link science and technical innovations to vexing regional or global environmental issues in one or more of the following core areas: Science-informed regulation, policy, and decision making Health and ecological risk and impact assessment Restoration and management of damaged ecosystems Sustaining ecosystems Managing large-scale environmental change Papers published in these broad fields of study are connected by an array of interdisciplinary engineering, management, and scientific themes, which collectively reflect the interconnectedness of the scientific, social, and environmental challenges facing our modern global society: Methods for environmental quality assessment; forecasting across a number of ecosystem uses and challenges (systems-based, cost-benefit, ecosystem services, etc.); measuring or predicting ecosystem change and adaptation Approaches that connect policy and management tools; harmonize national and international environmental regulation; merge human well-being with ecological management; develop and sustain the function of ecosystems; conceptualize, model and apply concepts of spatial and regional sustainability Assessment and management frameworks that incorporate conservation, life cycle, restoration, and sustainability; considerations for climate-induced adaptation, change and consequences, and vulnerability Environmental management applications using risk-based approaches; considerations for protecting and fostering biodiversity, as well as enhancement or protection of ecosystem services and resiliency.
