Green Infrastructure Approaches to Control of Combined Sewer Overflows
The Philadelphia Water Department is committed to a balanced land-water-infrastructure approach to achieve watershed management and combined sewer overflow (CSO) control goals. This method includes infrastructure-based approaches where appropriate, but also includes a range of land-based stormwater management techniques and physical rehabilitation of aquatic habitats. The goal is to restore the water environment in the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding areas, while achieving regulatory compliance in a cost-effective manner. This paper explains the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling used to design the approach and quantifies potential benefits of stormwater management and green infrastructure in one of the three highly urbanized drainage districts in Philadelphia. The results indicate that a significant reduction in stormwater volume can be achieved by requiring stormwater controls for redevelopment and through implementation on public lands.
