“…Most SUDS systems are geographically referenced; integrating SUDS models with GIS system could reduce a huge amount of work on data formatting and process, allowing easy interpretation of model inputs and outputs with a more user-friendly map representation [95]. Certainly, it is also notable that the use of GIS will require large spatial and temporal databases, which are challenging to integrate into existing SUDS models.…”

Climate change and urbanization are converging to challenge city drainage infrastructure due to their adverse impacts on precipitation extremes and the environment of urban areas. Sustainable drainage systems have gained growing public interest in recent years, as a result of its positive effects on water quality and quantity issues and additional recreational amenities perceived in the urban landscape. This paper reviews recent progress in sustainable drainage development based on literature across different disciplinary fields. After presenting the key elements and criteria of sustainable drainage design, various devices and examples of sustainable drainage systems are introduced. The state-of-the-art model approaches and decision-aid tools for assessing the sustainable alternatives are discussed and compared. The paper further explores some limitations and difficulties in the application of the innovative solutions and suggests an integrated and trans-disciplinary approach for sustainable drainage design.

“…The O & M costs are based on 25-year-life-span assumptions for the IMPs, and the annualized costs include the replacement of LIDs at the 25th year [29]. The land costs and engineering design costs were not included in the cost analysis since they tend to be highly site and project specific [2].…”

“…Traditional engineering practices to manage the adverse hydrologic and water quality impacts of urbanization have relied on structural best management practices (BMPs) (e.g., detention and retention basins), which are often placed at a downstream location and provide centralized treatment [2]. Low impact development (LID) is a relatively new, and an increasingly popular, concept in stormwater management for controlling adverse storm flows and water quality impacts of urban sprawl [3,4].…”

Multi-objective optimization linked with an urban stormwater model is used in this study to identify cost-effective low impact development (LID) implementation designs for small urbanizing watersheds. The epsilon-Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (ε-NSGAII) has been coupled with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) to balance the costs and the hydrologic benefits of candidate LID solutions. Our objective in this study is to identify the near-optimal tradeoff between the total LID costs and the total watershed runoff volume constrained by pre-development peak flow rates. This study contributes a detailed analysis of the costs and benefits associated with the use of green roofs, porous pavement, and bioretention basins within a small urbanizing watershed in State College, Pennsylvania. Beyond multi-objective analysis, this paper also contributes improved SWMM representations of LID alternatives and demonstrates their usefulness for screening alternative site layouts for LID technologies.

“…Bach, Rauch, Mikkelsen, McCarthy, & Deletic, 2014). With the increasing complexity of interactions being modelled within the urban water system and the adoption of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in urban water management (Niemczynowicz, 1999;Sample, Heaney, Wright, & Koustas, 2001), spatial representation of both water infrastructure and its surrounding urban environment in models has been brought to researchers' attention (e.g. Bach et al, 2013).…”
