<p><p>Bioretention units were constructed at the US Environmental Protection Agency's Edison Environmental Center to evaluate drainage-to-surface runoff ratio for sizing of bioretention stormwater controls. Three sizes of hydraulically isolated bioretention units were tested in duplicate with changes in aspect ratio of length from inlet wall by doubling successive length from smallest (3.7 m) to largest (14.9 m) while width remained the same (7.1 m). The watershed areas were nominally the same, resulting in watershed-to-surface area ratios of 5.5:1 for largest duplicate units, 11:1 for the middle units, and 22:1 for the smallest.

The bioretention units were filled with planting media initially comprising 90% sand and 10% sphagnum peat moss by volume and approximately 99% and 1%, respectively, by weight.

The published results of the combined analyses of moisture content, rainfall, and size of shrubs indicated that the smaller units had superior shrub growth due to the more frequent saturation of the root zone as measured by WCR, while the plants in the largest units, particularly away from front wall where runoff entered, potentially relied on direct rainfall only.

To evaluate the effectiveness of dispersed stormwater control measures (SCMs), it is important to consider groundwater-surface water interactions and their consequences for stream hydrologic responses relevant to channel geomorphic stability and ecology. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different SCM design scenarios and implementation alternatives on exceedance levels and volumes of streamflow at the watershed scale. For this purpose, a process-based block-connector model of Sligo Creek, an urban watershed (29 km2) in the suburbs of Washington, DC, was used to study the effects of SCM system design on the stream hydrograph. The watershed has 34% impervious area (IA), which was discretized into 14 similar-sized subwatersheds, each consisting of pervious and impervious surface areas. Each subwatershed was compartmentalized with the representative overland flow, unsaturated flow, groundwater blocks, and links to main channel segments. The model was calibrated and validated to existing conditions using a 3-year time series of observed flow data. Afterward, a predevelopment simulation was configured. Three SCM unit designs and IA diversions through the SCM retrofit system were simulated. The three unit design scenarios represented a simple pond with surface storage and overflow or SCMs that infiltrate with an engineered soil layer and with or without an underdrain pipe. Differences among the model simulations were evaluated using flow exceedance probability curves. The area of the SCM system was modeled as 5% of the IA retrofit. Three implementation levels, including 10%, 50%, and 90% of the IA diverted through SCMs, were considered for each SCM unit design. The results showed that at least a 50% retrofit of runoff from IA watershedwide would be needed to achieve similar predevelopment base flows and peak flows. Intermediate flows could not be matched but were closest for the infiltration with the underdrain pipe design scenario. It was also found that concentrating the SCMs in the lower portion of the watershed resulted in more effectively achieving the predeveloped exceedance curves than uniform SCM implementation. The results are relevant to planning-level decisions that depend on effectiveness predictions of different SCM unit designs and implementation alternatives in developed watersheds.
要评估分散式雨水控制措施 (SCM) 的效果，必须考虑地下水与地表水之间的相互作用及其对与河道地貌稳定性和生态学相关的溪流水文响应的影响。本研究旨在评估不同 SCM 设计方案和实施替代方案对流域范围内超标水平和溪流流量的影响。为此，我们使用了基于过程的斯莱戈溪块状连接模型来研究 SCM 系统设计对溪流水文图的影响，斯莱戈溪是华盛顿特区郊区的一个城市流域（29 平方公里）。该流域有 34% 的不透水面积 (IA)，被划分为 14 个大小相似的子流域，每个子流域都由透水和不透水表面区域组成。每个子流域都被划分为具有代表性的陆上流、非饱和流、地下水区块以及与主河道段的连接。利用观测到的流量数据的 3 年时间序列，根据现有条件对模型进行了校准和验证。随后，对开发前模拟进行了配置。通过单片机改造系统模拟了三种单片机单元设计和 IA 分流。三种单元设计方案分别代表了带有地表存储和溢流的简单池塘，或带有工程土层的渗透式单片机，以及带或不带下水管道的单片机。使用流量超标概率曲线对模型模拟之间的差异进行了评估。SCM 系统的面积被模拟为 IA 改造面积的 5%。每个 SCM 单元设计都考虑了三个实施水平，包括通过 SCM 分流的 IA 的 10%、50% 和 90%。结果表明，要达到类似开发前的基本流量和峰值流量，至少需要对整个流域的 IA 径流进行 50% 的改造。中间流量无法匹配，但最接近采用下排水管设计方案的渗透流量。此外，研究还发现，与统一采用 SCM 相比，将 SCM 集中在流域下部能更有效地实现开发前的超标曲线。这些结果与规划层面的决策息息相关，这些决策取决于对已开发流域中不同 SCM 单元设计和实施方案的有效性预测。
