Overview

Investigates green roofs' impact on reducing pressurised flows in urban drainage systems, suggesting sustainable solutions.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how green roof installations can reduce pressurised flow conditions in urban drainage networks.
  • Performed numerical simulations using EPA SWMM 5.2
  • Analyzed flow behavior under varying percentages of green roof coverage
  • Assessed hydraulic efficiency of urban drainage systems
  • Green roofs significantly improved hydraulic functioning of drainage systems
  • Reduced filling ratios and mitigated pressurisation risks
  • Decreased flood occurrences in the sewer network
