Study on the Efficacy of Recessed Green Space in Rainwater Harvesting and Utilization in Urban Roads

Abstract

In order to confirm the performance of recessed green space in rainwater collection and utilization of urban roads, this paper proposes a corresponding experimental test program, which mainly covers the evaluation of rainwater infiltration, the evaluation of rainwater purification, and the simulation of rainfall-runoff reduction. Using the above test methods, the effectiveness of recessed green space in collecting and utilizing rainwater was analyzed. The results showed that in the one-way analysis of the compositional structure of the undercroft green space, the gravel layer, the media layer, and the vegetation layer had no significant difference in the infiltration rate sig<0.05, and all three had no significant difference with the infiltration rate. The order of rainwater infiltration effect of the four reactors was 3/7 mixed media reactor (23.08 ml/min) > red loam reactor (23.04 ml/min) > 2/8 mixed media reactor (23 ml/min) > black loam reactor (23.08 ml/min), while the order of purification effect was 3/7 mixed media > 2/8 mixed media > red loam > black loam. In addition, the combined high infiltration hypolimnetic green space had a better retention effect (flow yield range from 0 to 10 L) in rainfall-runoff with a reproduction period of 3 and 4 years. Based on the analysis results, the application effect of undercroft green space in urban road rainwater collection and utilization is comprehensively verified, and it is hoped that the investigation of this paper can bring certain references and references to the relevant personnel.
