Green Roofs Effects on the Urban Water Cycle Components

Lamera, C. / Becciu, G. / Rulli, M.C. / Rosso, R.

Green roofs are emerging as an increasingly popular Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) technique for urban stormwater management. Indeed, they allow a significant reduction of peak flows and runoff volumes collected by drainage system, with consequent reduction of flooding events and pollution masses discharges by CSO. To estimate the imperviousness of a green roof and to evaluate its hydrological impact within an urban watershed, a bucket model was developed to simulate a rainfall-runoff relationship for a single green roof. The objective is modeling hydrological fluxes in relation to climate forcing, basic technology components and geometric characteristics of green roof systems.
