Abstract:With the implementation of the concept of sponge city construction, Shanghai Water Administration has issued the Technical Guidelines for Sponge City Construction of Shanghai Water Facilities (Plant / Station) in order to promote the sponge construction of water facilities. Combined with the reconstruction project of a large-sized wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), a construction scheme of sponge city facilities is proposed. By utilizing the facilities such as rainwater buffer pools, grass planting ditches and permeable paving, the control of runoff volume in the newly added construction area is realized. By utilizing the rainwater buffer pool, the rainwater order ability of the service plot is improved. And the rainwater is discharged into the built rainwater system of WWTP in the staggering peak, which can avoid the large-scale renovation of the built rainwater pipelines and synchronously improve the landscape effect of the WWTP area. Through the construction of sponge city facilities, the newly added areas of the project can achieve the control rate of annual runoff volume by 75%, and the return period of the rainwater system can reach the standard of once in three years.
