The Glasgow sustainable urban drainage system\ud management project: Case studies (Belvidere hospital and\ud Celtic FC stadium areas)

摘要

The Glasgow Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) Management Project satisfies the first phase\udof the Glasgow Surface Water Management Project. This is Glasgow City Council’s contribution to the\udTransformation of Rural and Urban Spatial Structure (TRUST) project, one of the European Union’s (EU)\udinterregional (INTERREG IIIB) funded research projects. The remit of this EU project comprises also\udother representative regions in Europe. The project shows also how SUDS can contribute to the overall\udcatchment dynamics of cities such as Glasgow, ultimately relieving stress on the current predominantly\udcombined sewer system. Fifty-seven sites within 46 areas of Glasgow were identified for investigation. A\uddetailed soil chemistry analysis, a preliminary SUDS feasibility assessment and a desk study relating to\udhistorical planning issues that may be relevant for subsequent future development and regeneration options\udwere undertaken. Detailed design and management guidelines were then drafted for selected representative\uddemonstration areas (Belvidere Hospital and Celtic FC Stadium Areas) of high public and property\uddevelopers interest, and education value. A combination of infiltration trenches or swales with ponds\udor underground storage were the most likely SUDS options for the majority of the demonstration areas.\udSoil contamination issues were considered when selecting SUDS because heavy metals such as lead and\udzinc can cause environmental health problems.
