Abstract

In this research, a pilot scale hybrid rain garden system was developed in order to investigate the efficiency in the different components of the hybrid rain garden system and at the same time evaluate the initial efficiency of the system in treating urban stormwater runoff prior to its actual use in the field. Experimental runs were conducted using synthetic runoff having target concentrations similar to that of the typical runoff characteristics found in different countries and in Korea. With the employment of the hybrid rain garden system, hydrologic improvement was observed as the system demonstrates an approximately 95% reduction in the influent runoff volume with 80% retained in the system, and 15% recharged to groundwater. The reduction was contributed by the retention capabilities of ST and infiltration capabilities in PB and IT. With the combined mechanisms such as filtration-infiltration, biological uptake from plants and soil and phytoremediation that are incorporated in PB and IT, the system effectively reduces the amount of pollutant concentration wherein the initial mean removal efficiency for TSS is 87%, while an approximate mean removal efficiency of 76%, 46% and 56% was observed in terms of organics, nutrients and heavy metal, respectively. With these findings, the research helps in the further improvement, innovation and optimization of rain garden systems and other facilities as well.

본 연구는 도시 강우유출수 처리를 위한 하이브리드 빗물정원 시스템을 개발하고자 수행되었으며, Pilot scale 모니터링을 통하여 시스템 내의 서로 다른 구성요소간의 효율을 검증하였다. 유입수는 국내 외 도로강우유출수의 농도를 고려한 인공강우유출수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 모니터링 결과 하이브리드 빗물정원은 시설 내 저류 80%, 지하수의 침투 15%로 유입수의 약 95% 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 ST의 저류 및 PB와 IT의 침투 기작이 물순환 효과에 기여한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 오염물질 저감효율을 산정한 결과, TSS의 경우 평균 87%으로 나타났으며, 유기물은76%, 영양염류는 46%, 중금속은 56%으로 나타났다. 이는 PB와 IT에 포함된 여재의 여과, 침투 및 식생과 토양의 생물학적 흡수 기작 영향에 의해 나타난 결과로 판단된다. 이러한 연구 결과는 향후 빗물정원의 효율을 향상시키기 위한 시설의 개선 및 설계방안으로 활용 가능할 것으로 평가된다.
