Abstract

Flood-prone cities depend on stormwater ponds, but current designs with single, shallow channels limit storage. This paper proposes a new approach: using multiple channels to create smaller sections on the pond floor. Modeling shows this significantly increases storage for floods without needing a bigger pond. It also improves water flow and reduces stagnant areas. Finally, the paper explores practicalities for building these ponds, making them a valuable tool for better urban water management without needing more land or changing the pond’s height. These multi-channel ponds are particularly beneficial for frequent smaller storms by distributing water flow, reducing its speed, and allowing more time for sediment to settle, leading to improved water quality. Sustainable solutions are essential for safeguarding the future. In this research, sustainability plays a pivotal role, as the multi-channel stormwater pond design provides an innovative approach to improving flood management without the need for extra land or resources, thus supporting the goals of sustainable urban development.
