Devido à taxa de urbanização crescente e às deficiências do sistema de drenagem urbana, tem sido cada dia mais evidente a recorrência e o aumento das inundações nas cidades brasileiras. Nas últimas duas décadas, as medidas estruturais alternativas ganharam espaço nos grandes centros urbanos devido à possibilidade de redução do efeito das cheias através de sistemas de detenção e/ou retenção, sem transferir o volume incremental de água para a jusante. Esta dissertação objetiva analisar a relação custo/eficiência de reservatórios de detenção e de pavimentos permeáveis. Para tal, foi necessária a verificação da possibilidade de implantação do pavimento permeável sem infiltração, seguida da modelagem hidrológica com pavimento permeável e com reservatórios de detenção na bacia hidrográfica do rio Pirajuçara. Para o desenvolvimento dessas análises, foram realizadas simulações matemáticas com o software Hec-Hms. O software ArcGis foi a ferramenta SIG utilizada para a preparação dos dados de entrada. A base de dados que caracteriza os reservatórios de detenção foi fornecida pelo DAEE. Para o pavimento permeável, foram consultadas as pesquisas geradas em função do protótipo de pavimento permeável, implantado no estacionamento do Centro Tecnológico de Hidráulica e Recursos Hídricos, dentro da Universidade de São Paulo. Com as simulações e análises desenvolvidas, foi possível quantificar a redução do escoamento superficial gerado e estimar o custo de reservatórios de detenção e pavimento permeável por unidade de redução do escoamento superficial. Este estudo evidencia que nas bacias de área menor, o uso do pavimento permeável apresenta uma boa relação custo/eficiência, sendo equivalente ao uso de reservatórios de detenção. Conclui-se que, quanto menor a área de implantação, mais competitivo fica o uso do pavimento permeável como medida estruturante. / The increasing urbanization rate and deficiency of urban drainage systems in Brazil has contributed to changes in the recurrence and impacts of urban floods. The actions to reduce the magnitude and damages caused by floods so far are mostly local and focused on classical solutions of urban drainage. The use of structural measures during the last two decades have increased in urban centers due to its effectiveness in reducing the effects of floods without transferring the incremental volume of water to downstream. The most common solutions are detention and/or retention systems. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the relationship between cost and efficiency of detention reservoirs and permeable pavements. The feasibility of the implementing permeable pavements with retention underneath, that is, permeable pavements that do not infiltrate directly to the ground was analyzed in the Pirajuçara watershed area in São Paulo. A hydrological model was used to compare the response of the permeable pavement solution with the detention reservoirs already installed in the watershed. The hydrological simulation used the HEC-HMS software together with a GIS tool based on ArcGis software. The detention system database was provided by DAEE- Departamento de Águas e Energia Elétrica. The permeable pavement data on cost and efficiency was derived from the prototype installed the parking lot of the Centro Tecnológico de Hidráulica e Recursos Hídricos at the Universidade de São Paulo. This study was able to quantify the reduction of runoff generated, estimate the cost of permeable pavements per unit of reduction and compare it with the peak reduction of the reservoirs. This study showed that, on small watersheds, the use of permeable pavement presents a better cost/efficiency relationship, equivalent to the use of detention reservoirs. The conclusion is that the smaller the watershed, the more competitive is the solution of permeable pavement when compared to other structural measures.

The PhD thesis focuses on the performance assessment of permeable pavement systems incorporating ground source heat pumps (GSHP). The relatively high variability of temperature in these systems allows for the survival of pathogenic organisms within the sub‐base. Salmonella sp, Escherichia coli, Enterococci and total heterotrophic bacteria were analysed in order to assess potential risk to health. Supplementary carbon dioxide monitoring indicated relatively high microbial activity on the geotextile and within the lower parts of the sub‐base. Anaerobic processes were concentrated in the space around the geotextile, where carbon dioxide concentrations reached up to 2000 ppm. The overall water treatment potential was high, with up to 99% biochemical oxygen demand removal. Variable removal efficiencies have been calculated for nutrients such as ortho‐phosphate‐phosphorus, ammonia and nitrates/nitrites. Calculated Coefficients of Performance and Energy Efficiency Rates provided evidence on correctness of GSHP design. Collected data was analysed with non‐parametrical statistics and a self‐organizing map model was used to assess relationships between variables. Findings present correlations considered as low and insignificant between temperature fluctuations and pathogen numbers. Highly significant correlations (p<0.01) were calculated for influent‐effluent relationships. Air and water temperatures and water quality data variability within the systems provided evidence for the high level of biological processes leading to a low risk of pathogen transition to human.

Developments that have been taking place on Cal Poly campus over the years have altered the natural hydrology of the area. Stormwater management practices could help reduce the impacts of these developments. Computer models can help to design effective and economical stormwater management solutions at a watershed scale. As such, the objective of this study was to develop a stormwater management model for Cal Poly campus. The model was developed based on the utility data obtained from the university and other watershed data available from open sources. Field surveys were conducted to address some anomalies in the utility data, and streamflow monitoring was performed. The model was calibrated using the streamflow data measured during this study. The calibration effort significantly improved the prediction accuracy of the model. The calibrated model was then used to analyze the hydrologic performance of implementing LID systems for two projects that Cal Poly plans to build. Permeable Pavements (PPs) and Bioretention Cells (BRCs) were the LID types examined. The LIDs were evaluated based on peak flow and runoff volume reductions they would achieve. The potential reductions were compared for current conditions and the proposed project if LIDs were implemented, and for inflows to the LIDs and outflows from the LIDs. The results indicate that implementing a PP system for the proposed student apartment at the current H-1 and R-1 parking lots and a BRC system for the proposed engineering project facilities at the current H-2 parking lots will significantly reduce peak flow and runoff volume. Overall, the developed model will help the university with the traditional stormwater management practices such as flood control and to identify effective LID practices for future developments. Limitations of the current model and recommendations on how to improve the model are also discussed.

As the world’s population is migrating more into urban areas, landcover changes follow. Natural pervious areas are being converted to impervious areas, which when subjected to rain generates more stormwater runoff. Stormwater management is a problem that cities today are challenged with, infrastructure is getting older and precipitation patterns are changing due to climate change. Due to climate change extreme precipitation events are likely to increase and therefore increase the probability of urban flooding. Urban flooding can be caused by extreme precipitation events with a short duration, or so-called flash floods. These flash floods can overwhelm the drainage system in place which therefore can cause flooding. This problem has inspired engineers to rethink stormwater management, moving from traditional grey drainage systems to more green and sustainable drainage systems. Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) are drainage systems that aim to regain the properties of non-urbanised areas, retain the natural hydrological cycle, and have recreational values for the surrounding societies. This study investigated how different SuDS behave when subjected to flash floods. A model of a synthetic case study was built in the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and sustainable urban drainage systems implemented. The solutions investigated were bioretention cells, rain gardens, infiltration trenches, green roofs, and permeable pavements. Three different rain events were analysed, all with different precipitation depth but with the same duration of 1 hour. Results showed that bioretention cells could reduce runoff volumes to the highest extent while green roofs could reduce the peak runoff the most. Other results were analysed like efficiency and cost. Bioretention cell came out on top in efficiency but had the highest cost. Overall, all the solutions showed promise in reducing runoff during flash floods, but the reduction capacity goes down with increased precipitation. / När en större del av världens befolkning flyttar in till tätortsområden så medföljer en ändring av markytans beskaffenhet. Vanligtvis genomträngliga ytor omvandlas till hårdgjorda ytor vilket generar mer dagvattenavrinning när de utsätts för regn. Dagvattenhanteringen är en utmaning för många städer idag eftersom infrastrukturen blir äldre och nederbördsmönstren förändras på grund av klimatförändringar. Extrema nederbördshändelser väntas öka med anledning av dessa klimatförändringar och ökar därigenom sannolikheten för översvämningar i städer. Översvämningar i städer kan orsakas av korta nederbördshändelser med hög intensitet, så kallade Skyfall, vilket kan överbelasta dagvattensystemets kapacitet. Det har lett till att ingenjörer ändrat sitt tankesätt på hur dagvatten ska hanteras och börjat gå från konventionella till mer gröna och hållbara dräneringssystem. Hållbar dagvattenhantering är dräneringssystem som syftar till att använda egenskaperna hos naturliga områden, behålla det naturliga hydrologiska kretsloppet och skapa rekreationsvärden för de omkringliggande samhällena. Denna studie har undersökt hur olika hållbara dräneringssystem beter sig när de utsätts för översvämningar. En modell på en syntetisk fallstudie byggdes i Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) där hållbara dräneringssystem implementerades i en urban miljö. Lösningarna som undersöktes var biofilterbäddar, regnträdgårdar, infiltrationsbäddar, gröna tak och permeabla trottoarer. Tre olika nederbördshändelser analyserades, alla med olika nederbördsmängder men med samma varaktighet på en timme. Resultaten visade att biofilterbäddar kunde minska avrinningsvolymerna i största grad medan gröna tak minskade ytavrinningen mest. Effektivitet och kostnad analyserades också. Där visade biofilterbäddarna högst effektivitet men hade den högsta kostnaden. Sammantaget visade det sig att alla lösningar var lovande vad gäller minskning av avrinning under översvämningar, men reduktionskapaciteten minskar med ökad nederbörd.

Sustainable Built Environments Senior Capstone Project / Porous concrete pavements have been used in the eastern United States to effectively manage storm water when used as an alternative to impervious surfaces. This paper reviewed a wide body of available literature and research to examine their potential to reduce runoff at the University of Arizona. This study found that their unique structural properties enable them to infiltrate and detain large volumes of water in a stone sub-base below the slab, filtering out many street related contaminants without the need to install additional infrastructure. Porous concrete surfaces may support green development in the southwest where water is both a sensitive and valuable resource. However, long-term structural durability, clogging potential due to dust, and maintenance requirements have yet to be fully understood in this region. This paper then summarizes critical factors that affect the performance of porous concrete and proposes a framework for future study to be conducted by the University of Arizona in a way that would reduce runoff to major campus roads, contribute to a better understanding of sustainable storm water management in the southwest, and demonstrate leadership in environmental stewardship.

För att permeabel asfalt skall vara ett bra sätt att ta hand om dagvatten i en stad med allt fler hårdgjorda ytor är det viktigt att den långsiktigt kan infiltrera dagvatten. Då det inte går att undvika att permeabel asfalt utsätts för små partiklar finns det en risk för att den skall sätta igen och förlora sin förmåga att infiltrera dagvatten. Som en skötselåtgärd för att förhindra att den sätter igen kan rengöring med högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning göras. I detta examensarbete undersöktes det vilken effekt rengöring med högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning har på permeabel asfalts infiltrationskapacitet. Vidare undersöktes även vilken typ av uppbyggnad av den permeabla asfalten som var mest lämplig för en effektiv infiltration. Litteraturstudie och intervjuer om permeabel asfalt samt infiltrationsförsök har utförts. För att uppbyggnaden av permeabel asfalt hydrologiskt sett skall fungera på ett bra sätt framkom det, i litteraturstudier och intervjuer, att det är viktigt att alla lager i uppbyggnaden verkligen är permeabla och att uppbyggnaden bör anpassas efter rådande förhållanden på anläggningsplatsen. Förhållanden som till exempel bör tas hänsyn till är underliggande jordart och närheten till grundvattenyta. I litteraturstudier och intervjuer framkom det att regelbunden skötsel av den permeabla asfalten är mycket viktig för dess långtidsfunktion att kunna infiltrera dagvatten. Infiltrationsförsöken skedde på två platser med permeabel asfalt i Uppsala; på en parkering vid ett köpcentrum i Gnista och på en lokalgata i Gränby backe. Infiltrationskapaciteten uppmättes innan och efter rengöring med högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning på den permeabla asfalten. Vid Gnista kunde ingen infiltration uppmätas varken före eller efter rengöring. I Gränby backe ökade infiltrationskapaciteten från 0,47–0,71 mm/min till 1,24–12,23 mm/min efter rengöring. Denna infiltrationskapacitet visar på att den permeabla asfalten i Gränby backe kunde infiltrera dimensionerade regn med allt från 7 års återkomsttid till över 1000 års återkomsttid och med 10 minuters varaktighet. Det framkom i litteraturstudien att högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning i olika studier har haft en positiv effekt på att upprätthålla och till viss del återskapa infiltrationskapaciteten hos permeabel asfalt. Vid infiltrationsförsöken i detta examensarbete påvisades även en positiv effekt, till viss del, av denna rengöringsmetod på infiltrationskapaciteten. Utifrån detta skulle rengöring med högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning kunna rekommenderas som skötselmetod på permeabel asfalt.  Resultaten i Gnista skiljde sig från de i Gränby backe då det i Gnista varken före eller efter rengöring fanns någon infiltrationskapacitet. Det skiljer sig endast ett år i ålder mellan de båda försöksplatserna, de har skötts på liknande sätt sedan anläggning och litteratur visar på att rengöring med högtryckstvätt och vakuumsugning skall ha en effekt på infiltrationskapaciteten. Detta kan tyda på att bristen på infiltrationsförmåga i Gnista kan bero på något annat än igensättning av den permeabla asfalten. / It is important that permeable asphalt is able to infiltrate storm water in the long-term for it to be a viable alternative for handling storm water. Permeable asphalt will always, in some way, be exposed to fine particles and therefore there is a risk that clogging will occur and that the permeable asphalt will lose its ability to infiltrate storm water. As a mean of maintenance cleaning with high pressure washing and vacuum cleaning can be done to prevent clogging. In this master thesis the effect of high pressure washing and vacuum cleaning on the infiltration capacity of permeable asphalt was examined.  Also, the most suitable type of substructure for effective infiltration was examined. A literature study and interviews were conducted in combination with infiltration experiments on two locations with permeable asphalt in Uppsala. Literature studies and interviews state that for the substructure to be hydrologically well functioning it is important that every layer in the substructure really is permeable. The substructure should also be adapted to the conditions at the site where it is built. For example, conditions to take into consideration are soil type and highest level of groundwater. All through literature and interviews regular maintenance is said to be very important for the long-term functioning and infiltration of permeable asphalt. The infiltration experiments were conducted at a parking lot at a shopping center in Gnista and a small local street in Gränby backe. The infiltration capacity of the permeable asphalt was measured before and after maintenance with high pressure washing and vacuum suction. No infiltration capacity could be measured before or after maintenance at Gnista. In Gränby backe the infiltration capacity was 0,47-0,71 mm/min before maintenance and 1,24-12,23 mm/min after. According to this infiltration capacity the permeable asphalt in Gränby backe can infiltrate design rains with return periods of 7 years to over 1000 years and with a duration of 10 minutes. In research, high pressure washing, and vacuum suction were found to be able to maintain, and in some cases restore, infiltration capacity. In this master thesis’ infiltration experiments a positive effect on infiltration capacity by cleaning with high pressure washing and vacuum suction was partially found. According to this high pressure washing and vacuum suction can be recommended as a maintenance method on permeable pavement. The results from the two experiment sites stood apart from each other as Gnista had no infiltration capacity neither before nor after cleaning. In age, the two sites only differ by one year, and since they were built they have received similar maintenance and literature shows that high pressure washing and vacuums suction have an effect on infiltration capacity. This might indicate that the lack of infiltration capacity at Gnista might be due to something else than clogging.

Partial-infiltration permeable pavement (PP) systems provide environmental benefits by increasing infiltration, attenuating storm flows and improving stormwater quality. This thesis focuses on the performance and operation of partial-infiltration PP systems over low permeability soil in Ontario. Three PP, AquaPave®, Eco-Optiloc® and Hydromedia® Pervious Concrete were monitored over two years and their performance was evaluated relative to an impermeable Asphalt control. Field data was collected from the Kortright PP pilot parking lot in Vaughan, Ontario. Through the use of restrictor valves on underdrains the PP systems were shown to provide substantial hydrologic benefits by eliminating stormwater outflow for rain events less than 7mm, reducing peak flows by 91% and reducing total stormwater volume by 43%. Stormwater quality was analyzed for winter and non-winter seasons. The PP were shown to greatly reduce the concentration and total loading of suspended solids, nutrients, hydrocarbons and most heavy metals. Some water quality data, such as pH, K, or Sr levels, indicate that the quality of PP effluent will change as the system ages. Study of PP sample boxes at the University of Guelph highlighted the role that construction materials have on effluent quality and showed that pollutants introduced by the pavement and aggregate are almost entirely in a dissolved form and decline very rapidly after a season of exposure to rainfall. Benefits to water quality were sustained during winter months. The partial-infiltration PP systems were shown to provide buffering of Na and Cl concentrations. Small and large-scale maintenance practices for PP systems were investigated. Small-sized equipment testing found that vacuum cleaning and pressure-washing have good potential to improve infiltration capacity. Testing of full-sized streetsweeping trucks demonstrated that permeability can be partially restored on PICP by suction-based sweeping. Vacuum-sweeping was beneficial on a PC pavement which had experienced large permeability losses. Results of this study indicate that partial-infiltration PP systems can be effective measures for maintaining or restoring infiltration functions on parking lots and other low volume traffic areas, even in areas with low permeability soils.

El fenómeno El Niño provoca intensas precipitaciones pluviales que se acumulan y discurren por la superficie, transportando importantes caudales de agua que se incrementan con el desplazamiento debido a la carencia de un pavimento permeable como sucede en la ciudad de Tumbes. Esta deficiencia produce daños en los sistemas de abastecimiento de agua, alcantarillado y aguas pluviales que, debido a la cantidad de basura y lodo que transportan los azolvamientos severos, afectan a las infraestructuras hidráulicas, medio ambiente y calidad de vida de la población. Una propuesta de solución es utilizar un sistema de drenaje urbano sostenible que permita complementar el sistema único de saneamiento diseñado para las aguas servidas, residuales y pluviales, existente en la gran mayoría de ciudades. Esta solución consiste en el diseño de un pavimento permeable porque permite alcanzar un volumen de captación de agua de 81-730 l/min/m2 debido al contenido de vacíos de 13 a 25%. Esta característica física es importante para garantizar la infiltración de grandes volúmenes de agua mediante sus poros para luego transmitir a estratos subyacentes; reducir el flujo del calor al conductor; y mitigar la isla de calor urbano en las ciudades. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo evaluar el desempeño del concreto permeable mediante 5 diseños de mezcla para estudiar la resistencia a la compresión, a la flexión y permeabilidad; la comparación de la escorrentía superficial pluvial de un pavimento de concreto permeable con un pavimento de concreto convencional mediante el software SWMM 5.1; y la comparación respecto al costo. / The El Niño phenomenon causes intense rainfall that accumulates and runs over the surface, transporting significant volumes of water that increase with displacement due to the lack of a permeable pavement, as happens in the city of Tumbes. This deficiency causes damage to the water supply, sewerage, and rainwater systems that, due to the amount of garbage and mud transported by severe silts, affect the hydraulic infrastructures, environment, and quality of life of the population. A proposed solution is to use a sustainable urban drainage system that allows complementing the unique sanitation system designed for sewage, waste, and storm water, existing in most cities. This solution consists of the design of a permeable pavement because it allows reaching a water collection volume of 81-730 l/min/m2 due to the void content of 13 to 25%. This physical characteristic is important to guarantee the infiltration of large volumes of water through its pores and then transmit to underlying strata; reduce heat flow to the conductor; and mitigate the urban heat island in cities. The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of permeable concrete through 5 mix designs to study the resistance to compression, bending and permeability; the comparison of the surface rain runoff of a permeable concrete pavement with a conventional concrete pavement using SWMM 5.1 software; and the cost comparison. / Tesis
