Simulation of urban storm-water runoff in storm-water management model

Abstract

Abstract The research simulates the precipitation-runoff process in an urbanized area. The Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, is chosen as the locality of interest. The construction of a mathematical model of the area of interest and the existing sewer network was used the storm-water management model software. The rain type was stimulated by the block type of rain and real precipitation events. The study results showed that some parts of the existing sewer network are overloaded already during a lower intensity rain event. Based on the results achieved in the future, it is considered with the proposal of measures for rainwater management.
