- W2779380589 abstract "Bioretention cells play an important role in urban drainage. Over the last years, urbanized andimpervious surfaces have drastically increased. As a result, large amount or runoff is expectedeven after small rainfall events. Water from runoff contains large number of contaminants suchas nutrients, heavy metals, organic matter or suspended solids. These pollutants have severeconsequences on the receiving waters, such as algae bloom, oxygen deficit, or growth anddevelopment problems. Impervious surfaces not only cause problems in receiving waters, butalso increase the chances of flooding, and decrease groundwater recharge. These negativeeffects can be diminished increasing the number and importance of bioretention cells in urbanplanning, since these infiltration facilities mimic the natural environment, helping to bring backthe natural water cycle, filtering pollutants present in water and decreasing the amount ofrunoff. This kind of sustainable urban drainage system are well known and implemented inAnglo-Saxon countries, such as United Kingdom, United States or Australia where governmentalbodies rule its constructions and maintenance. However, in Spain, in spite of having somesustainable urban drainage studies and projects, is still a recent concept, which needs to bedeveloped and considered with the importance it deserves.This study aims to evaluate the hydraulic functionality of these bioretention cells. To do so, a raingarden is designed and assessed under different conditions. The rain garden has an area of 4 m2and collects water from an adjacent roof of 39.9 m2. The soil profile proposed for the design ofthe rain garden is composed of three layers: a first layer of 20 cm composed of 60% sand, 30%silt and 10% clay; an intermediate layer of 10 cm formed by 95% of sand and 5% of silt; and athird layer of 50 cm composed only of sand. To evaluate its hydraulic performance, HYDRUS-1Dprogram is used to simulate the functioning of this infiltration facility for five rainfall events withthe largest demand of retention volume in the rain garden, as well as for the precipitation withlargest demand from a table with design values of precipitation in Prague. Three weatherstations located in the surrounding of the place where the bioretention cell will be built recordedthese precipitations and other climatic data every minute along 2015. Parameters such as headpressure and water content across the soil profile of the rain garden; effluent volume from thebottom of the infiltration facility; high of water cumulated on the surface and time needed toinfiltrate both the cumulated and total received water are obtained and evaluated for eachprecipitation under two different initial conditions (a not too dry nether too wet soil, and a verydry soil).These simulations show that the total effluent volume under these conditions is expected to bebetween 0.072 and 0.148 litres for real precipitations, and 0.384 litres for the design value; showthat the cumulated water on the surface reaches 5 cm for real precipitations and 19.79 cm forthe design value; and that it takes less than 24 hours to completely infiltrate the water.The results show how rain gardens perform under high rainfall events, which can be the basis forfuture applications or investigations about how their integration in urban planning can diminishurban runoff and improve water quality in surrounding water courses." @default.
