Abstract
Uncontrolled urbanization causes local flooding and deterioration of the water quality of
receivers as a result of an increase in peak flow rate and increased washing out of contaminants from the catchment
area. Currently, classic storage tanks are most often used. An alternative solution may be the use of Low Impact
Development (LID), i.e. the preservation and restoration of natural landscape elements, minimizing the imperviousness
of the catchment in the form of rain barrels, permeable walkways or bio-retention reservoirs. The comparison of both
techniques was carried out using the Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (EPA SWMM). The
influence of several solutions on a selected urbanized catchment located in Gorzów Wielkopolski was tested.
