Green gutter as a Nature-based Solution for mitigation and adaptation strategy in urban environments.
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.
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.
