英文摘要:
The design of stormwater drainage infrastructure in urban areas in China is based on the statistical stationary assumption of probability distribution of extreme rainfall, which is being increasingly challenged by climate change. However, quantitative assessment of the performance of urban drainage systems in response to climate change with the latest emission scenarios of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 in China is quite limited. This study aims to investigate potential changes of extreme rainfall and their influence on drainage infrastructure in a representative urban area in Wuhan city, China. The Storm Water Management Model is established to investigate the response of drainage infrastructure to future design rainfall. It is found that the probability distribution of extreme rainfall for two historical sub-periods (1961-1985 and 1986-2005) has changed, especially in the head and tail of the frequency curves. Furthermore, the design rainfall with return periods of 2, 3, 4 and 5 years increases more significantly than those of 10 and 20 years. Consequently, the incapability of the current drainage infrastructure in the study area is aggravated. Moreover, the results of SWMM modelling provide detailed information about the performance of current drainage infrastructure, which can provide technical support for future modifications of the current drainage infrastructure of the study area.
