Graduate Report on “Storm water collection”
Ajay R. Patel (190420748016) Infrastructure & Transportation Planning
1. Introduction
Stormwater is the water that drains off a land area from rainfall. This includes rain that falls on
rooftops, directed through gutters and downpipes onto land or into drains, as well as rain falling
on ground surface areas such as roads, driveways, footpaths, gardens and lawns.
Rainwater refers only to the rain that falls on the roof, which can be harvested into a storage
tank prior to contact with the ground. Rainwater quality is much higher, since groundwater
generally contains many more contaminants including soil, organic matter, fertilisers from
gardens, oil residues from driveways and the like.
2. Roof water
Water collected from the roof of building is called roof water.
In urban area, this is an important source of stormwater and needs to be aware of the size of the
roof, where the building is located (The region will generally indicate the intensity of the rainfall
and location of size of the downpipes.)
Green roofs comprise a multi-layered system that covers the roof of a building or podium
structure with vegetation cover/landscaping. The roof is likely to consist of an impermeable
layer, a substratum or growing medium and a drainage layer (although not all green roofs require
a drainage layer). Green roofs are designed to intercept and retain precipitation, reducing the
volume of runoff and attenuating peak flows
Disadvantages
Green roofs are suitable for retrofit or redevelopment projects as well as new building and can
be installed on small garages or large industrial, commercial and municipal buildings. They
effectively utilize the natural functions of plants to filter water and treat air in urban and suburban
landscapes.
Performance
Green roof is medium in peak flow reduction and volume reduction. But it’s good in water quality
treatment, amenity potential and ecology potential.
Maintenances
3.Surface water
Water that travels over paved or unpaved area is surface water. In this case, you will be
concerned about the types of surface it may be pervious or impervious surface.
These are laid on a recommended sub-base, which has in the past varied from Type 1 sub-base
(which is actually relatively impermeable) to clean gravel and crushed rock, or other open-
textured support. Typical uses are for public, engineered surfaces carrying light loading but of
high frequency such as shopping centre car parks.
Porous asphalt, porous concrete or resin bound aggregate, laid on a recommended sub-base of
free-draining granular material. Remains free-draining provided regular surface maintenance
limits the deposit of debris in the surface void spaces.
Typical uses are for low cost, temporary or occasional usage roadways and parking areas where
vehicular loading is generally light and where the appearance of a grassed surface is seen as
environmentally desirable, such as car parks, tram routes.
Advantages
Reduced peak flows to watercourses reducing the risk of flooding downstream
Reduced effects of pollution in runoff on the environment
Can be used in high density developments with a range of surface finishes that accept
surface waters over their area of use
Reduced need for deep excavations for drainage, which can have significant cost benefits
Flexible and tailored solution that can suit the proposed usage and design life
Lined systems can be used where infiltration is not desirable, or where soil integrity
would be compromised
Allows dual use of space, so no additional land take
Removes need for gully pots and manholes
Eliminates surface ponding and surface ice
Often very resilient to a lack of maintenance
Good community acceptability.
Disadvantages
Cannot be used where large sediment loads may be washed/carried onto the surface
In the UK, current practice is to use on highways with low traffic volumes, low axle
loads and speeds of less than 30 mph
Risk of long-term clogging and weed growth if poorly maintained
Performance
Pervious pavements are good in peak flow reduction, volume reduction and water quality
treatment. But it’s poor in amenity potential and ecology potential.
4. Subsoil drain
A subsoil drain is laid underground and allows for the collection and passage of subsoil water to
a storm water drain. This can be used to increase the stability of the land especially around
building footings, reduce surface water for example, under a lawn and reduce subsoil water
pressure such as in a building basement.
Infiltration trenches are shallow excavations with rubble or stone that create temporary
subsurface storage of stormwater runoff, thereby enhancing the natural capacity of the ground to
store and drain water.
Advantages
Disadvantages
High clogging potential without effective pre-treatment – not for sites with fine particle
soils(clay/silts) in upstream catchment.
Build-up of pollution difficult to see.
High historic failure rate due to poor maintenance, wrong siting or high debris input.
Limited to relatively small catchments.
Used of this component
Infiltration trench can be used in residential, industrial and commercial areas. But it’s not used
on contaminated sites and vulnerable groundwater.
Performances
Infiltration trench is performed medium in peak flow reduction but high in volume reduction
and water quality treatment. And it’s performed low in amenity potential and ecology potential.
Quantity
Infiltration techniques: provide storage for runoff in an underground chamber, lined with a
porous membrane and filled with coarse crushed rock. Enhance the natural ability of the soil to
drain the water. They do this by providing a large surface area in contact with the surrounding
soil, through which the water can pass. The amount of water that can be disposed of by an
infiltration trench within a specified time depends mainly on the infiltration potential of the
surrounding soil. The size of the device and the bulk density of any fill material will govern
storage capacity.
Quality
Runoff is treated in different ways in an infiltration trench. These include: physical filtration to
remove solids, adsorption onto the material in the trench, biochemical reactions involving micro-
organisms growing on the fill or in the soil. The level of treatment depends on the size of the
media and the length of the flow path through the system, which controls the time it takes the
runoff to pass into the surrounding soil. Pre-treatment may be required before polluted runoff is
allowed into an infiltration trench.
Amenity
Infiltration trenches are easy to integrate into a site. They are ideal for use around playing
fields, recreational areas or public open space. They increase soil moisture content and help to
recharge groundwater, thereby mitigating problems of low river flows.
Maintenance
Bioretention areas (also referred to as bioretention cells or rain gardens) use soil, plants and
microbes to treat stormwater before it is infiltrated or discharged. Bioretention areas are shallow
depressions filled with sandy soil, topped with a thick layer of mulch, and planted with dense
vegetation.
Stormwater runoff flows into the bioretention area, percolates through the soil (which acts as a
filter) and eventually drains into the groundwater; some of the water is also absorbed by the
plants. Bioretention areas are usually designed to allow ponded water and with an overflow outlet
to prevent flooding during larger storm events. Where soils have low permeability or where faster
drainage is desired, designers may incorporate a perforated underdrain that routes to a storm drain
system.
Bioretention areas can provide excellent pollutant removal and recharge for the “first flush” of
stormwater runoff. Properly designed bioretention areas will remove suspended solids, metals,
and nutrients. Distributed around a property, bioretention areas can enhance site aesthetics. In
residential developments they are often marketed as property amenities. Routine maintenance is
simple and can be handled by homeowners or conventional landscaping companies, with proper
direction.
Bioretention areas are suitable in a wide range of climatic and geologic situations. Common
applications for bioretention areas include parking lot islands, median strips, and traffic islands.
Bioretention is often a feasible “retrofit” that can be accomplished by replacing existing parking
lot islands or by re-configuring a parking lot during resurfacing.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Bio-retention area can be used in residential, commercial and industrial areas. And it’s also
suitable for contaminated sites and for site above vulnerable groundwater.
Performance
Bioretention area is medium in peak flow reduction and volume reduction (High with
infiltration). And it’s good in water quality treatment and amenity potential but medium in
ecology potential.
5. Subsoil drain
A subsoil drain is laid underground and allows for the collection and passage of subsoil water to
a storm water drain. This can be used to increase the stability of the land especially around
building footings, reduce surface water for example, under a lawn and reduce subsoil water
pressure such as in a building basement.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Retention pond can be used in residential, commercial and industrial areas. And it’s can be used
in contaminated site and on vulnerable groundwater site but in liner.
Performance
Retention pond performed good in peak flow reduction but poor in volume reduction. And
good in water quality treatment, amenity potential and ecology potential.
Quantity
Ponds can be designed to control flow rates by storing floodwater and releasing it slowly once
the risk of flooding has passed (also known as a balancing pond). The stored water will change
the water level, and ponds should be designed to function in both dry and wet weather. Quantity
can also be influenced by the amount of water that can be allowed to infiltrate into the ground if
there is no risk to groundwater quality.
Quality
Ponds treat runoff in a variety of ways: settlement of solids in still water. Having plants in the
water enhances calm conditions and promotes settlement, adsorption by aquatic vegetation,
biological activity.
Amenity
Ponds offer many opportunities for the landscape designer. Permanently wet ponds can be used
to store water for reuse, and offer excellent opportunities for the provision of wildlife habitats.
Maintenance
Litter/debris removal. Inlet/outlet cleaning.
Vegetation management. Sediment monitoring and removal when required
5.2 Soakaways
Advantages
Disadvantages
Not suitable for locations where infiltration water may put structural foundations at
risk, or where infiltrating water may adversely affect existing drainage patterns.
Not appropriate for draining polluted runoff.
Increased risk of groundwater pollution.
Some uncertainty over long-term performance and possible reduced performance
during long wet periods.
Where the property owner is responsible for operation and maintenance, performance
difficult to guarantee.
Soakaways can be used in residential, commercial and industrial areas. But this component
cannot be used in contaminated sites and sites above vulnerable groundwater.
Performance
Soakaways is performed good in peak flow reduction, volume reduction and water quality
treatment. But it’s poor in amenity potential and ecology potential.
Quantity
Infiltration techniques: provide storage for runoff in an underground chamber, lined with a
porous membrane and filled with coarse crushed rock. Enhance the natural ability of the soil to
drain the water. They do this by providing a large surface area in contact with the surrounding
soil, through which the water can pass. The amount of water that can be disposed of by a
soakaway within a specified time depends mainly on the infiltration potential of the surrounding
soil. The size of the device and the bulk density of any fill material will govern storage capacity.
Quality
Runoff is treated in different ways by a soakaway. These include: physical filtration to remove
solids adsorption onto the material biochemical reactions involving micro-organisms growing on
the fill or in the soil. The level of treatment depends on the size of the media and the length of
the flow path through the system, which controls the time it takes the runoff to pass into the
surrounding soil.
Amenity
Soakaways are easy to integrate into a site, but they offer very little in the way of amenity or
biodiversity value as they should be completely underground and water should not appear on the
surface. They do, however, increase soil moisture content and help to recharge groundwater,
thereby helping to mitigate problems of low river flows.
Maintenance
Infiltration basins are vegetated depressions designed to store runoff on the surface and infiltrate
it gradually into the ground. They are dry except in periods of heavy rainfall.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Potentially high failure rates due to improper siting, poor design and lack of
maintenance, especially if appropriate pre-treatment is not incorporated.
Comprehensive geotechnical investigations required to confirm suitability for
infiltration.
Not appropriate for draining pollution hotspots where high pollution concentrations are
possible.
Requires a large, flat area.
Infiltration basin can be used in residential, commercial and industrial areas. But it’s can not be
used in contaminated sites and sites above vulnerable groundwater.
Performance
Infiltration basin is average in peak flow reduction and good in volume reduction. And it’s also
good in water quality treatment, amenity potential and ecology potential
Quantity
Infiltration techniques: store runoff by allowing temporary and shallow ponding on the surface;
enhance the natural ability of the soil to drain the water. They do this by providing a large surface
area in contact with the surrounding soil, through which the water can pass. The amount of water
that can be disposed of by an infiltration basin within a specified time depends mainly on the
infiltration potential of the surrounding soil. The size of the device and the bulk density of any
fill material will govern storage capacity.
Quality
Runoff is treated in different ways in an infiltration basin. These include: physical filtration to
remove solids, adsorption onto the material in the surrounding soil, biochemical reactions
involving micro-organisms growing on the fill or in the soil.
The level of treatment depends on the size of the media and the length of the flow path through
the system, which controls the time it takes the runoff to pass into the surrounding soil. Pre-
treatment may be required before polluted runoff is allowed into an infiltration basin.

Amenity
Infiltration basins are easy to integrate into a site. They are ideal for use as playing fields,
recreational areas or public open space. Infiltration basins can be planted with trees, shrubs and
other plants, improving their visual appearance and providing habitats for wildlife. They increase
soil moisture content and help to recharge groundwater, thereby mitigating problems of low river
flows.
Maintenance
Regular inspections for signs of deterioration in performance, clogging and other blockages.
Litter/trash removal. And regular removal of sediment from pre-treatment.
Inlet/outlet cleaning.
Vegetation management.
6. Case study
The Gandhinagar is Green city and the capital Gujarat state. The urbanization of city impact
reduces the infiltration land, it occurs the low infiltration of rain water in ground. The stormwater
runoff occurs when the rainfalls over the infiltration land such as roadway, walk way, parking
lots, rooftop and other surface that prevent the infiltration of stormwater and. This runoff volume
increase and flooding problem generate in city. This runoff existing in the drain in near lake and
river. The sedimentation, nitrogen, bacteria, phosphorus, oil, grease, trash, pesticides, metal and
other matter pollute the storm water in urban areas. The stormwater drains in sewer line to meet
the sewage water its more pollute, then after drain in lake or river the other industrial wastewater
pollutes the stormwater. The Stormwater management practice to prevent the pollution of runoff
and use in storing tank the and water infiltration in ground.

this network was doing not work perfectly. The Stormwater problem is Flooding and
waterlogging.
Solution
After the existing survey of Study area identify the problem of Stormwater and causes of the
Stormwater Such as the existing storm drainage was bad condition due to sedimentation network
are blocked and does not effectively. Its cases flooding and waterlogging of the Stormwater. The
Concrete paved area like parking areas are reduce the pervious land. Using permeable paving to
reduce the impervious area.
7.Conclusion
Water scarcity is serious problem throughout the world for both urban and rural community.
And due to the rapid urbanisation, that increase storm water runoff and that water is not
infiltrate or pernitrate in the ground so that why ground water table level is decreased.
