Rainwater management in urban areas
Haška, Aleš ; Malaník, Stanislav (referee) ; Raclavský, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis focuses on the issue of stormwater management in urban areas with a focus on vegetated roofs . In this paper, testing of vegetated roof compositions at the DERIC experimental centre is published. The compositions are tested here to refine the existing knowledge on the behaviour of vegetated roofs in real environments. The existing knowledge of vegetated roof compositions is presented. The paper also explains how to input these specific vegetated roof compositions into the LID (Low Impact Development) module, which is part of the SWMM (Storm water management model) program. For each roof, parameters were compiled during which the simulated composition showed the greatest agreement with the measured data. After a satisfactory match, two compositions were selected and implemented in a specific area. For the specific area, there is already a rainfall-runoff model built from a previous research project, but new sub-catchments needed to be generated for this model and this was achieved using the PYTHON programming language. Subsequently, analyses of runoff reduction from the area of interest were performed.
