En busca del impacto hidrológico cero: implementación de pequeños dispositivos

Abstract

This article presents the implementation of small detention devices of flows in a stormwater sewer network for decreasing peak flows in urban areas, in order to achieve ZERO HYDROLOGIC IMPACT. Obtaining a reduction between 11% to 40% of the peak flow in the sewers, as a result. Furthermore, it shows the concept of ZERO HYDROLOGIC IMPACT, which means, getting an urbanized terrain behave as if its natural condition had not been modified, and the definition of detention devices of flows.
