Urbanization reduces the opportunity of stormwater infiltration that lessens groundwater recharge and increases pollutant loads to streams. Reduction of Infiltration from impervious areas in the urban environment is one of the key issues in urban flooding; therefore, increasing the infiltration opportunity and capacity in the urban environment can be a good option to tackle this problem. This study assessed the performance and developed a simple approach for estimating infiltration capacity of infiltration wells by employing on-site tests. Water infiltrated from the surfaces of three diameters (30cm, 40cm and 50cm) and five opening ratios (0.892% , 0.783% , 0.708% , 0.3915% and 0.354% ) of infiltration wells were measured under non-flowing and steady state conditions. The results from infiltration wells test indicate that the correlations between Specific Infiltration Area ( Aus ), which is defined as the finial infiltration rate divided by saturated hydraulic conductivity of the soil (Ksat ) and the depth of water (H ) is linearly dependent on each other for three diameters and five opening ratios of infiltration wells. Experimental results also indicate that when the decrease in opening ratio of the infiltration well is 50% , the infiltration wells still retain about 90% for infiltration capacity. Based on these results, the Aus for different H and radiuses (r ) can be obtained assuming their hydraulic conditions are similar. Those design curves developed by the study provide as the practical tools for designing infiltration wells. |
