Concept draft for Green street : storm water management : case Jyväskylä
Storm water management is no longer only water supply management, it is needed to focus on sustainable solutions. Urbanization increases the amount of hard covered surfaces, which prevents soakage and increases the need for sewer systems. The main effects for natural water circulation are the increase of surface runoffs, and the reduction of water flow in soil. The consequences can be flooding, erosion and also loss of habitat diversity. This study was conducted to serve the purposes of the city of Jyväskylä. In the town planning and land use office there is a need to understand whether there could be other and possibly better ways to solve the storm water management in city centres than the present sewer systems. There is a need to re-evaluate the storm water system in the city centres where the amount of impervious surfaces is high. One possibility is to combine the storm water management systems more closely to urban green infrastructure. The aim of this Master’s thesis and the case study was to consider the possibilities of trees as a functional part of storm water management in the city centre of Jyväskylä. An option storm water management plan in the Rajakatu street in the city of Jyväskylä was planned by replacing the present system with an underground rain garden. This study assesses different options to make the underground rain gardens combined with trees to be a part of green infrastructure. The work was started by studying the terminology, the laws and similar systems that are in use in other countries. The main problems, which need to be solved in this kind of work, are discussed. Next, the answers with the help of planning intruments are presented.
