flood control; precipitation intensity; rain events; urban area INTRODUCTION Meteorological and secondary disasters happened frequently due to the extreme weather under climate change in the world especially during 21 century Under climate change, the maximum of total precipitation and extreme rain events from 1950 to 2014 occurred in 1990s and 2000s, and the extreme rain events would continuously increase according to the report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2014) Since meteorological disasters cause significant social and economic losses, governments, civil societies, organizations and the public therefore pay great concern to the managements of the disasters for the alleviation of the negative influences of climate changes Extreme weathers frequently cause torrential rains and flooding in modern cities, e.g Beijing © ASCE Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/03/19 Copyright ASCE For personal use only; all rights reserved International Low Impact Development Conference China 2016 and Shanghai, which are more sensitive and fragile to flooding disasters because of high population density The average annual cost of natural disasters was 200 to 400 billion Yuans from 1949 to 1989 and gradually increased due to the climate changes The safety of big cities, including managements, lives and properties, is greatly threatened by seeping in streets, rainwater intrusion into underground facilities and other damages caused by extreme precipitation events “Metropolis Disease” due to extreme precipitations were frequently reported by public media For example, a heavy rain of 170 mm in one day, with a maximum precipitation of 541 mm in Hebeizhen in Fangshan District, attacked Beijing on July 21, 2012, which broke a historical record of single rain station in Beijing Nearly 600 million m3 rainwater concentrated in a 2000 km2 area in Fangshan District during 10 hours, which equaled that the Kunming Lake in Summer Palace was poured down once every minutes The highest rainstorm warning grade with “Orange Degree” and “Level II” of Flood Control Emergency were announced The direct economic losses were as high as 11.8 billion Yuan, and 119.28 million populations were greatly affected Total 9.48 million people were transferred to safe regions in emergency, and 79 people were died during this terrible event More than 10 thousands of houses collapsed, 940 enterprises were discontinued, and 361 kilometers embankments were damaged The huge losses from this extreme precipitation event were partially due to the limitation knowledge on the relationship between extreme rain and flood occurrence in a big city Temporal and spatial distribution of precipitation intensity in relation to the land use types and population density would significantly affect the alarm threshold However, such important studies are lagged Average annual rainstorm days in China showed a slight but not significant increasing trend in the past half century (Zhi et al., 2006; Min and Qian, 2008; Feng et al., 2008; Zou et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2010) The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation over total rainfall events increased in most of China, while the rainfall days tended to be decreasing, and annual rainstorm days slightly increased with high differences in temporal and spatial distribution (Zhai et al., 2005; Wang and Zhai, 2008) Heavy rainfall in summer reduced in the north of China (Wang and Yan, 2009) The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events decreased in North China (Alexander et al., 2006; Wang et al., 2012) The frequency of precipitations during 1954 to 2006 reduced in North China; however, that of heavy rain did not too (Tu et al., 2010) The extreme precipitation intensity and frequency of big cities in north of China were increased more than in surrounding agricultural areas (Wang and Zhai, 2009) Although the extreme precipitation amount, days and intensity in Beijing showed a downward trend from 1981 to 2010 (You et al (2009), the highest precipitation intensity occurred in 2012 That implies increased variations of precipitations in Beijing, thus, it is necessary to explore the temporal and spatial variations of precipitations in relation to flood control based on the capability of flood discharges at a basin level The objectives of this study therefore were to (a) quantify the temporal and spatial distribution of extreme precipitations with frequency, amount and intensity in the basin of Qinghe River in north of Beijing city, where is one of four rivers in the capital urban center with a drainage area of 175 km2, a length of 28.7 km, an elevation range from 24.4 m to 500.3 m, and a stream length of 23.7 km; and (b) develop an extreme precipitation threshold (index) for the flood control of Beijing city in relation to the real basin situation, in which the hydraulic structures and embankment of Qinghe River are 20 years of flood recurrence period Considering natural and social factors, the study would help to design an optimal construction of Sponge Cities and provide scientific support to emergency warning and response activities © ASCE International Low Impact Development Conference China 2016 Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/03/19 Copyright ASCE For personal use only; all rights reserved ANALYSIS AND RESULTS Based on the daily rainfall data of Shanghai from 1984 to 2013 and properties of the specific sit, with a runoff coefficient of 0.9 and first flush depths of mm, Eqs (1)—(3) were coded into a spreadsheet and used to simulate the hydrologic operation of rainwater harvesting systems under different water demand scenarios Given the continuous simulation results, Eqs (4)—(10) were employed to calculate the performance index and to provide detail insights of performances for different storage unit sizes under different water demand scenarios Fig shows the performances for different storage sizes when collected rainwater is only used for toilet flushing Overall, higher stormwater capture efficiency, tap water replacement rate, and water supply reliability may be obtained with larger storage unit sizes However, beyond a size of about 70 m3, further increases in storage capacity only translate to marginal increases in stormwater management and tap water saving performances Benefit-cost rate increases with storage capacity when the storage capacity is between 0~10 m3, and reaches the highest value of 2.1 when storage capacity is about 10 m3 But when the storage capacity is larger than 10 m3, the benefit-cost rate decreases and drops to the critical point (1.0) at the storage capacity of about 80 m3 It indicates that the economically feasible storage capacity under this demand scenario should be a value less than 80 m3, and the economically optimal design storage capacity under this scenario is about 10 m3 Figure Performances of RHS with different storage unit sizes (toilet flushing only) The performances for different storage sizes under the other two water demand scenarios can be found in Figs and Similar analysis about the stormwater management and water saving performances and economic benefits can be carried out as showed in the previous paragraph For the water damand scenario of lawn irrigation only, beyond a size of about 50 m3, further increases in storage capacity only translate to marginal increases in stormwater management and water saving performances, and the economically feasible and optimal storage unit sizes are 3.2 m3 per day), as well as the relatively small contributing roof area (1000 m2) For a rainwater harvesting system with larger contributing roof areas and smaller water demand rate, the stormwater capture efficiency is expected to drop while the water supply reliablility and tap water replacement rate will be increasesd Opposite features can be found in Fig 3, the stormwater capture efficiency stays around 50% when size of storage unit increases from 60 to 400 m3, however, the water supply reliablility and tap water replacement rate may reach 100% when the storage unit size is larger than 200 m3 It is mainly caused by the relatively small water demand rate (
