Abstract:

With a broad attention on stormwater management and the rapid development of intelligent technology, intelligent stormwater management provides opportunities to governments at all levels to integrate the real-time control in stormwater management. By installing sensors and controls on stormwater infrastructure with connection to a central management system, intelligent stormwater management fulfills an entire process of collection, analysis, control, operation and adjustment in the system. It improves infrastructure capability, enhances auto-operation and flexibility, saves longrun labor and maintenance cost, and increases the efficiency of stormwater management. Based on the demonstration of background and key concepts, this paper investigates the current status, implementing opportunities, potential barriers, and promotion channels of intelligent stormwater management in the US. It provides insightful experience and lessons on how to use intelligent stormwater management in China.
