The Best Management Practices (BMPs), the volume control and pollutant mass removal operated with a stormwater tanks are investigated in the present work. Data collected in 2007 during two monitoring campaigns was used to this aim. During the first monitoring campaign were observed six rainfall-runoff events, and was collected hydrological and quality data that were used to calibrate and to validate the SWMM (Storm Water Management Model – by USEPA) parameters. Ten rainfall-runoff events were observed during the second monitoring campaign, and the data were used to simulate, with SWMM, five different scenarios. Each scenario was characterized by a different tanks distribution on urban catchment surface. The results was analyzed in terms of overflow volume and overall pollutant mass in the receiving water body. The results obtained indicated a good efficiency of CSO volume control and pollutant mass removal for the scenarios characterized by multiple storage tanks implemented at specific locations.

Abstract

The Best Management Practices (BMPs), the volume control and pollutant mass removal operated with a stormwater tanks are investigated in the present work. Data collected in 2007 during two monitoring campaigns was used to this aim. During the first monitoring campaign were observed six rainfall-runoff events, and was collected hydrological and quality data that were used to calibrate and to validate the SWMM (Storm Water Management Model – by USEPA) parameters. Ten rainfall-runoff events were observed during the second monitoring campaign, and the data were used to simulate, with SWMM, five different scenarios. Each scenario was characterized by a different tanks distribution on urban catchment surface. The results was analyzed in terms of overflow volume and overall pollutant mass in the receiving water body. The results obtained indicated a good efficiency of CSO volume control and pollutant mass removal for the scenarios characterized by multiple storage tanks implemented at specific locations.
