Abstract:

Urbanization causes hydrological change and increases stormwater runoff volume, leading to flooding, erosion, siltation and the degradation of natural drainage system. Best management practices (BMPs) as an alternative approach to better natural flow regime by using decentralized designs to control stormwater runoff at the source, rather than at a centralized location in the watershed. BMP such as permeable pavement can be retrofitted in residential street, infiltration trench can be retrofitted in roadside stormwater drain, rain barrel storage can be retrofitted in building roofs and bioretention cell can be retrofitted in park. The present paper describes a modelling approach to incorporate four types of BMPs in the study site and estimates the impacts of BMPs on flood volume and peak flow reduction. Results depict that use of these four BMPs leads to significant stormwater control for reducing the risk of flooding in the study site
