Recently, since impervious areas have increased due to urban development, the water cycle system of urban
watersheds has been destructed. Hence, researches on LID (Low Impact Development) technique have been
conducted to solve such problems environmentally. In order to verify suitability with the scale and arrangement of
LID technique, the runoff reduction effect of the LID technique should be analyzed per small watershed unit. In this
study, pre-post difference of the runoff by applying the LID was estimated using the rational method and rainwater
treatment capacity equation. As a result, the runoff before and after the application of LID were estimated as 22,533.5
m3 and 14,992.1 m3, respectively. In addition, rainfall-runoff simulations were carried out using SWMM to evaluate
the efficiency of the LID technique. The SWMM simulation results showed that the runoff before and after the
application of LID were 21,174 m3 and 15,664 m3, respectively. Based on the results of the two methods, the scale and
arrangement of the LID technique were revised in order to maximize the effect of the water cycle improvement.
Rainfall-runoff simulations were carried out using the SWMM with the revised LID techniques. As a result, despite
34.8 % reduction of pervious pavement area, the rate of runoff reduction increased by 2.1 %. These results indicate
that designing the scale and arrangement of LID technique, while considering the total amount of inflow entering into
each LID techniques, is essential to effectively achieve the goals of runoff reduction in urban development.
