Abstract:The construction of initial rainwater storage tank at the end of drainage systems is one of the effective ways to control the non-point source pollution. Taking the design of an initial rainwater storage on Guangxian Road for the north square of the subway as an example, this storage tank serves two drainage systems. Through the technical and economic comparison between the commonly used gravity inflow mode and pump lifting inflow mode, the scheme of using the current rainwater lifting pump for inflow is finally determined, which greatly saves the engineering construction investment. The comparison and selection of its inflow mode, the design of operational linkage, and the design of washing system, emptying system and deodorization process are introduced. And aiming at the characteristics of its service for two drainage systems, the inflow and emptying designs are optimized accordingly, which can provide reference for the design and operational management of similar projects.
