Compensatory alternatives for flooding control in urban areas with tidal influence in Recife - PE

ABSTRACT This paper presents a study of compensatory alternatives in urban drainage, using SWMM model (Storm Water Management Model), for the critical point of flooding in an urban area and vulnerable to tide fluctuations, located in Recife. For this, we used the registered information of the micro-...

description ABSTRACT This paper presents a study of compensatory alternatives in urban drainage, using SWMM model (Storm Water Management Model), for the critical point of flooding in an urban area and vulnerable to tide fluctuations, located in Recife. For this, we used the registered information of the micro-drainage network and defined the parameters and variables required for modeling, such as: the subareas of contribution to the drainage system, indicating the percentage of soil waterproofing, equivalent width, slope, and infiltration rate; project rain; and tide curve. Two alternatives were simulated after the model has been calibrated. The first, which is an adaptation of the drainage network, presented maximum reductions in the volume of flooding of 37% for the events with recurrence period of two years and of 58% for five years of recurrence. The second, based on the deployment of a detention tank in the existing network, presented satisfactory results for the event of two years and reduced approximately 38% for events of five years. The results showed that there was a reduction in the area of flooding for the conditions simulated. However, the first alternative would not solve the local flooding problems, it would only attenuate and would increase the overload of the drainage pipes downstream of the modified system, while the second alternative could solve the problem of flooding, with the occurrence of an event of two years.
