The application of low impact development (LID) techniques preserves the predevelopmenthydrologic environment and minimizes the effects of urbanization by reducing impervious areasand increasing green areas. The LID method also utilizes decentralized stormwater managementapproaches that attempt to manage stormwater at the location where rainfall occurs. The purpose ofthis study is to demonstrate the integrated effects of the LID technique for stormwater managementsuch as flood control, improvement of water balance, and reduction of nonpoint source pollution bycomparing it with conventional development methods. The economic efficiency of the LID methodwas also analyzed. These analyses were conducted for the Songsan Green City in the Republic ofKorea, which is the construction site for a new urban area. The results show that flood peak flowand runoff volume were decreased by 4.81% and 8.37%, respectively, by applying the LID technique.Evapotranspiration and infiltration with the LID method were increased by 1.1% and 2.6%, respectively,compared with the conventional development method. The removal efficiency for nonpointsource pollution with the LID method was also 14.6% higher than with the conventional developmentmethod. Furthermore, the construction cost of the LID method was 9% lower than the costof the conventional development method. These results show that the LID method is superior tothe conventional development method in terms of stormwater management and can also reduceconstruction costs. |
