Abstract

Urban flooding and combined sewer overflow in city, or town areas represents potential risk in environmental, economic, or social aspects. The goal of this study is to process and evaluate efficiency of individual solutions to reduce occurrence of flooding in urban areas caused by intense rainfall events. The known conventional solutions are stormwater chambers, or storage drains. The new trend in reduction of stormwater drainage into combined sewer system are parts of blue-green infrastructure. Blue-green infrastructure represents environmental urban infrastructure which consists of sensitively selected urban vegetation combined with ingenious hydrological elements of urban city drainage. The study also deals with experimental usage of decentralized real time control, based on a gossip-based algorithm of moveable gates in sewage network. Experiment was proposed for drainage system of the city of Cosenza in Italy. Evaluation will assess application value of individual proposed solutions for the reduction of combined sewer overflow for Slovak republic and its urban cities, or towns.
