Due to the decreasing resources of non-renewable fresh water and climate changes leading to more frequent intense rainfalls, designed solutions are desired to manage rainwater in accordance with the principles of blue-green infrastructure.
This paper discusses four concepts of rainwater management for a warehouse hall using solutions such as drainage boxes and bio-retention basins with hydrophytic vegetation. The designed rainwater drainage system also includes a rainwater pre-treatment system, including a sedimentation tank and a petroleum derivatives separator and, depending on the concept's requirements, a rainwater pumping station. Some amount of rainwater will be reused for building maintenance needs (e.g. toilet flushing, cleaning) and for irrigating green areas. The aim is to maximize the use of rainwater within area where it occurs and to show the hybrid solutions of rainwater management.
