최근 비점오염물질 처리를 위하여 저영향개발(low impact development) 기술이 적용되고 있으며, 레인가든 기술은생물학적 및 물리화학적 처리에 의하여 비점오염물질 저감에 기여하기에 광범위하게 적용되고 있는 LID 기술 중 하나이다. 그러나 유지관리를 지속적으로 수행하지 않아 시설 내 막힘 현상 등의 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구는 효율적인 물수지 및 오염물질 저감을 위해 레인가든 기술의 구성 요소 배치의 개발 및 평가를 위하여 수행하였으며, 서로다른 2개의 하이브리드 레인가든 시스템 구축을 통하여 시스템의 최적화된 설계 및 구성요소의 배열을 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 시스템의 구성요소를 직렬로 배열 시 저감량은 유출량의 경우 96%, 오염물질 중 입자상 물질은 99%, 유기물질은 93% 및 중금속은 95%로 나타났다. 반면 시스템이 병렬로 배열 될 시, 유출량은 65% 저감되었으며, 평균 오염물질 저감효율은 TSS는 94%, 영양물질은 80% 및 중금속은 85%으로 평가되었다. 또한, 시스템의 구성요소가 비점오염물질 저감에는 침전, 침투도랑 및 식재부의 순서가 중요한 영향인자로 나타났다. 향후 레인가든 시스템 개발 시 최적화설계 인자로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다. Low impact development (LID) technology has been recently applied for the treatment of nonpoint source pollutants. Rain garden is one of the widely used LIDs since it utilizes various mechanisms such as biological and physico-chemical treatment to reduce pollutants. However, problem such as clogging has been one of the issues encountered by the rain garden that do not undergo constant maintenance. Therefore, this research was conducted to develop and determine the component arrangement of a rain garden system for a more efficient volume and pollutant reduction. Two hybrid rain garden systems having different characteristics were developed and evaluated to determine the optimum design and arrangement of the system. The results showed that the components arranged in a series manner showed a volume reduction of 93% and a pollutant reduction efficiency of approximately 99%, 93% and 95% was observed for particulates, nutrients and heavy metals, respectively. While when the system is connected in a combined series-parallel, the volume and average pollutant reduction efficiency for the TSS, nutrients and heavy metals are 65%, 94%, 80% and 85%, respectively. Moreover, the component arrangement in the order of sedimentation tank, infiltration tank and plant bed exhibited a high pollutant reduction efficiency compared when the infiltration tank and plant bed were interchanged. The findings of this research will help in the further development and optimization of rain garden systems.

빗물정원은 강우유출수를 현장에서 관리하는 LID 기술이며 보통 유역면적의 1% 이내의 면적에 적용된다. 본 연구는지붕 강우유출수를 처리하는 빗물정원의 환경적 효과를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었으며, 강우시 모니터링은 2012년3월부터 2014년 8월까지 총 19개의 강우사상에 대해 수행되었다. 19개의 강우사상 중에서 빗물정원에 유입된 강우유입수가 유출된 경우는 약 32%로 나타났으며, 이 경우 평균 강우량은 25mm으로 나타났다. 모니터링 결과 빗물정원은강우시 첨두 유출율을 낮추고 지연시킴으로써 수문학적 물순환 특성을 개선시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 빗물정원은강우량 25mm 이하의 강우유출수의 대부분을 저류 및 침투시킴으로써 지붕에서 유출되는 비점오염물질 저감에 크게기여하는 것으로 평가되었다. 빗물정원은 물순환 및 비점오염물질 저감과 더불어 경관성을 제공함으로써 시민들의 심미적 효과에 기여하는 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서 수행된 결과는 향후 빗물정원의 설계인자로 활용 가능하다. In this research, the environmental effects of rain garden when applied to a stormwater runoff originated from a rooftop were evaluated. The rain garden that was utilized as LID represents less than 1% of the catchment area that it drains. Storm event monitoring was conducted from March 2012 to August 2014 on a total of 19 storm events. In the 19 storm events that was monitored only 32% produced an outflow which has a mean rainfall characteristic of approximately 25 mm. With the application of rain garden, hydrologic improvement was observed as the facility exhibit a delay and reduction in the production of runoff and peak flows as the rainfall progresses. Furthermore, in terms of pollutant reduction, it was observe that the rain garden showed a generally satisfactory performance in reducing pollutants. In addition to this, the rain garden also has additional attributes that adds to the aesthetic appeal of the surrounding environment as well as in the lives of the people. The findings of this research will help in the further improvement and reinforcement of LID designs.

In this research, the hydrologic effects between a pre-existing urban landuse and low impact development (LID) applied conditions were compared and evaluated. The infiltration trench and tree box filter that were utilized in LID represent only 1% of the catchment area that they drain. Storm event monitoring were conducted from July 2010 to July 2014 on a total of 22 storm events in both LID sites. After LID, hydrological improvement was observed as the sites exhibited a delay (lag time) or reduction in the magnitude, frequency and duration of runoff and flow peaks as the rainfall progress. In addition, the maximum irreducible peak flow reduction for infiltration trench was found to be 61% and 33% for the tree box filter when rainfall was 40 mm and 30 mm, respectively. In designing LID, it is recommended to consider the storage capacity and catchment area, as well as the amount of rainfall and runoff on the site.

본 연구는 도시 강우유출수 처리를 위한 하이브리드 빗물정원 시스템을 개발하고자 수행되었으며, Pilot scale 모니터 링을 통하여 시스템 내의 서로 다른 구성요소간의 효율을 검증하였다. 유입수는 국내·외 도로강우유출수의 농도를 고 려한 인공강우유출수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 모니터링 결과 하이브리드 빗물정원은 시설 내 저류 80%, 지하수의 침 투 15%로 유입수의 약 95% 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 ST의 저류 및 PB와 IT의 침투 기작이 물순환 효과에 기 여한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 오염물질 저감효율을 산정한 결과, TSS의 경우 평균 87%으로 나타났으며, 유기물은 76%, 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 위 한 시설의 개선 및 설계방안으로 활용 가능할 것으로 평가된다. 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.

Evaluation on the hydrologic effects and water quality improvement after applying an infiltration trench and a tree box filter as low impact development (LID) techniques

Recently, Low Impact Development (LID) technology has been developed and used to collect, infiltrate, filter and confine runoff in order to enhance the storm water quality and to preserve the natural water cycle. In this study, two technologies were employed in order to treat runoff from an impervious surface such as a paved road and a parking lot. The infiltration trench which was constructed to manage stormwater runoff from a paved road abates and temporarily holds stormwater runoff and removes sediments and attached pollutants within the sub-surface structure prior to infiltration into the subsoils. On the other hand, the tree box filter which incorporates trees and other gardening plants to regulate and treat runoff drains the stormwater from a parking lot. The infiltration trench and tree box filter represent only 1% of the catchment area that they drain. This research was conducted to evaluate the hydrologic and water quality effects of the infiltration trench and tree box filter after LID. Storm event monitoring was conducted for the infiltration trench from May 2009 to August 2014 with a total of 38 storm events and 24 storm events in the tree box filter from July 2010 to July 2014. Hydrologic (i.e., total rainfall, antecedent dry day (ADD), runoff volume, etc.) and water quality (i.e. particulates, nutrients, organics, and heavy metals) parameters were analyzed before and after LID. The major findings of this study are as follows: The runoff before LID was discharged directly to the sewers and could lead to local flooding of transport systems and pollution to receiving waters during intense storm events. But, after LID the runoff was partially reduced for atleast 50% on the two (2) urban landuses. Furthermore, the pollutant concentration before LID was observed to be at high concentrations. However, it was reduced to an approximate of 60% after LID. With the combined processes of infiltration, filtration, retention and evapotranspiration that were provided by the infiltration trench and tree box filter, the runoff was partially reduced and a significant decrease in pollutant concentration has been observed. The results and findings of this study will help facilitate the LID for further application.

불투수면의 증가와 도시화 현상은 지하수량의 감소, 지표수의 고갈, 홍수의 증가 등과 같은 자연적인 물순환 시스템에변화를 가져왔다. 또한, 인간이 사용할 수 있는 수량의 감소 또한 초래하게 되었다. 이에 빗물의 적절한 처리와 재활용은 최근 발생되는 수문학적 문제의 해결에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 예상되어왔다. 따라서 본 연구는 지붕빗물유출수를 침투 및 저류 기작으로 처리하여 자연적인 물순환의 회복을 이루고자 침투화분 기술을 개발하였다. 연구결과, 침투화분 기술은 평균 79% 정도의 강우유출유량 저감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 유출유량 지연효과 및 첨두유량 지연효과도 발생하였는데, 약 3시간의 유출지연효과와 38%의 유량 저감효과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 침투화분의 오염물질 처리효율은 TSS 97%, BOD 및 CODcr 94%, TN 86%, TP 96%, Total Cu, Total Zn, Total Pb의 중금속은 약 93% 처리되었으며, 처리수의 오염물질 농도는 TSS 13.3mg/L, BOD 3.6mg/L, TN 4.7mg/L 및TP 0.1mg/L로 분석되어 도시재이용수, 조경용수, 공업용수로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 분석되었다. Due to urbanization and increase in impervious area, changes in natural water circulation system have become a cause of groundwater recharge reduction, streamflow depletion and other hydrological problems. Therefore, this study developed the infiltration planter techniques applied in an LID facility treating roof stormwater runoff such as, performance of small decentralized retention and infiltration through the reproduction of natural water circulation system and use of landscape for cleaning water. Assessment of an infiltration planter was performed through rainfall monitoring to analyze the water balance and pollutant removal efficiency. Hydrologic assessment of an infiltration planter, showed a delay in time of effluent for roof runoff for about 3 hours and on average, 79% of facilities had a runoff reduction through retention and infiltration. Based on the analysis, pollutant removal efficiency generated in the catchment area showed an average of 97% for the particulate matter, 94% for the organic matter and 86-96% and 92-93% for the nutrients and heavy metals were treated, respectively. Comparative results with other LID facilities were made. For this study, facilities compared the SA/CA to high pollutant removal efficiency for the determination to of the effectiveness of the facility when applied in an urban area.
