Özet

Water scarcity is one of the biggest problems in the world. Besides water scarcity, reaching clean water is also a serious issue for some countries. To be able to fight against these difficulties, engineers have been working on significant improvements on implemented projects. Among these, low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) are one of the most popular implementations recently. LIDs are referred to as nature-based solutions that can control the quality and the quantity of stormwater runoff. LIDs consist of different practices such as rain barrels, green roofs, permeable pavement, vegetative swale, and bioretention. The infiltration trench, which is the focus of this study, is among these practices. The infiltration trench consists of a rectangular ditch, filled with gravel, and has permeable soil around. In this study, the modeling performance of EPA SWMM of infiltration trenches is evaluated by comparing the modeling results with the experimental data. Results show that the experimental measurements are in good agreement with the EPA SWMM output. Keywords: infiltration trench, low impact development (LID), EPA SWMM, green infrastructure.
