Impact of Site-Scale Green Infrastructure on Volume Reduction in Combined Sewers
Combined sewer overflows have been a challenge in St. Louis, where most sewers in the City of St. Louis are combined. Green infrastructure (GI) can provide a decentralized stormwater management solution to achieve volume reduction and peak flow attenuation in combined sewers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of site-scale GI on stormwater volume reduction in combined sewers. The study analyzed measured flows from two study sites: a test site, where GI (rain gardens and planter boxes) was installed and a control site with no GI installation. The volume reduction analysis considered the drainage area, the disconnected area, and the precipitation at each site. This study found that the installed GI resulted in a reduction of 14 gallons of stormwater from each square foot of disconnected area and each inch of precipitation, or a 60% volume reduction of stormwater.
