这个问题
In New York City wastewater treatment plants, rain events cause water runoff, 生活污水, and industrial wastewater to be directed to 的 waterways around 的 city creating what are called Combined Sewer Overflows or CSOs. 每年, 更多的 than 27 billion gallons of sewage and dirty rainwater are discharged into New York Harbor during CSOs.
解决方案
CSOs can be mitigated with sustainable solutions, some of which we've collected below in our 绿色基础设施 Toolkit. 雨水收集, bioswales, 雨水花园, 落水管种植园主, 绿色屋顶, 透水铺平道路, and 增强型树穴s are just a handful of green infrastructure techniques that we can use to relieve 的 strain on sewer systems.
雨水收集 is 的 collection of rainwater, typically from gutters and downspouts, and 的 storage that rainwater in large, 持久的容器.
A 绿色屋顶 is a vegetative layer grown on a roof that holds rain water and reduces roof temperature. Green roofs can be ornamental and low profile or used for intensive vegetable growing.
A 雨水花园 is a garden of native shrubs, 多年生植物, and grasses which can withstand both drought and occasional flooding, generally planted on a low point of a natural slope.
Permeable Pavement, Downspout Planters, & 改良树穴
透水路面 is designed to allow percolation or infiltration of stormwater through 的 surface into 的 soil below where 的 storm water is naturally filtered and pollutants are removed.
A 落水管种植园主 places plants along or at 的 end of a downspout to capture 的 water before it enters 的 sewer. Rainfall is captured by 的 planter allowing for infiltration and capture of pollutants.
An 增强型树穴 collects rainwater by diverting runoff from 的 street into a cut into 的 curb.
Bioswales are used to convey water to plants, 雨水花园, 或者雨水渠, while allowing 的 water to infiltrate into 的 soil and be soaked up by 的 vegetation, 的refore reducing flooding.
