ABSTRACT

Synergistic allocation of urban stormwater infrastructure is critical to flood risk prevention and control under extreme rainfall events. This study focuses on the interaction regularity of green, gray, and blue infrastructure in the process of runoff retention and discharge under extreme rainfall scenarios. Three strategies, namely, gray infrastructure, green-gray infrastructure, and green-gray-blue infrastructure, are proposed to analyze the effectiveness of different scenarios on flood risk control capabilities of urban drainage systems and to determine the key influencing factors of the three strategies. The results show that green-gray-blue infrastructure demonstrates synergy in improving the efficiency of urban drainage systems. Under gravity drainage conditions, the backwater jacking caused by high river water levels has a certain impact on the smooth discharge of stormwater runoff in urban drainage systems. This case study identified a sensitive range in the influence of water level on runoff control and drainage function and an adaptive range in which the flood increases slightly with the water level increase. These present notable rules in improving the synergistic effect of blue infrastructure in the integrated urban green-gray-blue infrastructure system.
