Analysis of Low Impact Development
(LID) Strategies using Fully-Integrated
Fully-Distributed Surface
Water/Groundwater Models

Ground water and Surface-water FLOW
GSFLOW:
• Based on the USGS PRMS and MODFLOW
• Released in 2008
• Free and open source
• Modular
• Fully distributed
(Markstrom et.al., 2008)
GSFLOW Spatial Conceptualization
Rooftop
Impervious areas &
Depression storage
Pervious area
Tree canopy
(interception)
Micro-topographic
depressions
• Sub-cell components
• Impervious area
• Impervious depression storage
• Pervious area
• Pervious depression storage
• Canopy interception
GSFLOW: Cascading Flow Paths
• Allows for a many-to-many
pathway definition
• Runoff and
subsurface/interflow are
routed along these
pathways
• The cascade is continued
until a stream segment
reached or a swale
(depression) is reached
• Cascading flow will infiltrate
downslope if there is
available capacity
(Markstrom et.al., 2008)

Accumulated flow
Low Impact Development (LID) Strategies
(CVC & TRCA, 2010)
Select examples:
• Rainwater harvesting
• Green roofs
• Bioretention
• Permeable pavement
• Infiltration galleries
• Swales
• Etc.
Means of stormwater management
• Rainfall collection
• Runoff reduction
• Infiltration enhancement
• Evapotranspiration (ET) enhancement
(CVC & TRCA, 2010)
LIDs: GSFLOW Conceptualization
Manabe (1969) type reservoir
• Implemented into the GSFLOW code
• Distributed on a cell-by-cell basis
• Simple design, yet powerful

Additional LID Conceptualization:
Permeable Pavement
Achieved by decreasing the (effective)
percent imperviousness
Roof Downspout Disconnection
Achieved by routing impervious runoff to
(same-cell) pervious area
(CVC & TRCA, 2010)
(CVC & TRCA, 2010)
Case Study: Proposed Town of Seaton
• Proposed Town of roughly 70,000 residents
• Currently agriculture and natural areas
• GSFLOW used to test the impact of development and the
mitigative effects of LIDs
A
A’
Case Study: Seaton Lands
• Complex hydrogeology: 3 Aquifers day-lighting along Duffins
Creek
• Extensive wetland connectivity and riparian zones
A A’
Case Study: Seaton Lands – Current Land use
Case Study: Proposed Development
Case Study: Predicted Drawdown no LIDs (m)
Case Study: Implemented LIDs
• Employment areas: Rooftop capture and 90% of the overflow
being redirected to bioswales;
• Residential, recreational and school areas : Roof-to-lawn
routing of impervious runoff (amount dependent on roof
coverage as a proportion of modelled cell);
• Unlined (leaky) storm water management ponds;
• Infiltration gallery; and
• Road side ditches along rural cross sections as opposed to
serviced roadways.
Case Study: Infiltration Gallery
Case Study: Infiltration Gallery
• Requires adequate depth to watertable (>2 m)
• Requires a relatively high potential recharge rates (Iroquois
beach deposits 𝐾𝑣 ≅ 1 × 10−7 m/s ≅ 3.3 m/yr)
• Needs to be situated in a topographic low to increase
contributing area
Case Study: Predicted Drawdown (m)
Case Study: Predicted Drawdown with LIDs (m)
Case Study: Reduction in GW Discharge to
Streams due to Development without LIDs
Case Study: Improvement on GW Discharge to
Streams & Wetlands with LID mitigation
Case Study: Resulting LID-Mitigated Impact to
GW Discharge to Streams & Wetlands
Case Study: Conclusions
With LID implementation:
• Groundwater drawdowns were reduced by 86%;
• Groundwater discharge to streams was increased by 42%; and
• Urban runoff generation was reduced by 80%
relative to urban development without LIDs
In Summary
• Cascading flow routine can allow for any proportion of
generated runoff to be routed to any LID feature
• Fully-integrated and distributed modeling is required in order
to test the feasibility of specific LID strategies, and their local
impacts
• GSFLOW is Open Source: otherwise this assessment tool
would not have been possible

Analysis of Low Impact Development (LID) Strategies using Fully-Integrated Fully-Distributed Surface Water Groundwater Models

  • 1. Analysis of Low Impact Development (LID) Strategies using Fully-Integrated Fully-Distributed Surface Water/Groundwater Models Mason Marchildon Earthfx Inc. IAH 2012 Congress September 18, 2012
  • 2. Ground water and Surface-water FLOW GSFLOW: • Based on the USGS PRMS and MODFLOW • Released in 2008 • Free and open source • Modular • Fully distributed (Markstrom et.al., 2008)
  • 3. GSFLOW Spatial Conceptualization Rooftop Impervious areas & Depression storage Pervious area Tree canopy (interception) Micro-topographic depressions • Sub-cell components • Impervious area • Impervious depression storage • Pervious area • Pervious depression storage • Canopy interception
  • 4. GSFLOW: Cascading Flow Paths • Allows for a many-to-many pathway definition • Runoff and subsurface/interflow are routed along these pathways • The cascade is continued until a stream segment reached or a swale (depression) is reached • Cascading flow will infiltrate downslope if there is available capacity (Markstrom et.al., 2008)
  • 5. GSFLOW: Cascading Flow Paths Accumulated flow
  • 6. Low Impact Development (LID) Strategies (CVC & TRCA, 2010) Select examples: • Rainwater harvesting • Green roofs • Bioretention • Permeable pavement • Infiltration galleries • Swales • Etc. Means of stormwater management • Rainfall collection • Runoff reduction • Infiltration enhancement • Evapotranspiration (ET) enhancement (CVC & TRCA, 2010)
  • 7. LIDs: GSFLOW Conceptualization Manabe (1969) type reservoir • Implemented into the GSFLOW code • Distributed on a cell-by-cell basis • Simple design, yet powerful

  • 23. Additional LID Conceptualization: Permeable Pavement Achieved by decreasing the (effective) percent imperviousness Roof Downspout Disconnection Achieved by routing impervious runoff to (same-cell) pervious area (CVC & TRCA, 2010) (CVC & TRCA, 2010)
  • 24. Case Study: Proposed Town of Seaton • Proposed Town of roughly 70,000 residents • Currently agriculture and natural areas • GSFLOW used to test the impact of development and the mitigative effects of LIDs A A’
  • 25. Case Study: Seaton Lands • Complex hydrogeology: 3 Aquifers day-lighting along Duffins Creek • Extensive wetland connectivity and riparian zones A A’
  • 26. Case Study: Seaton Lands – Current Land use
  • 27. Case Study: Proposed Development
  • 28. Case Study: Predicted Drawdown no LIDs (m)
  • 29. Case Study: Implemented LIDs • Employment areas: Rooftop capture and 90% of the overflow being redirected to bioswales; • Residential, recreational and school areas : Roof-to-lawn routing of impervious runoff (amount dependent on roof coverage as a proportion of modelled cell); • Unlined (leaky) storm water management ponds; • Infiltration gallery; and • Road side ditches along rural cross sections as opposed to serviced roadways.
  • 31. Case Study: Infiltration Gallery • Requires adequate depth to watertable (>2 m) • Requires a relatively high potential recharge rates (Iroquois beach deposits 𝐾𝑣 ≅ 1 × 10−7 m/s ≅ 3.3 m/yr) • Needs to be situated in a topographic low to increase contributing area
  • 32. Case Study: Predicted Drawdown (m)
  • 33. Case Study: Predicted Drawdown with LIDs (m)
  • 34. Case Study: Reduction in GW Discharge to Streams due to Development without LIDs
  • 35. Case Study: Improvement on GW Discharge to Streams & Wetlands with LID mitigation
  • 36. Case Study: Resulting LID-Mitigated Impact to GW Discharge to Streams & Wetlands
  • 37. Case Study: Conclusions With LID implementation: • Groundwater drawdowns were reduced by 86%; • Groundwater discharge to streams was increased by 42%; and • Urban runoff generation was reduced by 80% relative to urban development without LIDs
  • 38. In Summary • Cascading flow routine can allow for any proportion of generated runoff to be routed to any LID feature • Fully-integrated and distributed modeling is required in order to test the feasibility of specific LID strategies, and their local impacts • GSFLOW is Open Source: otherwise this assessment tool would not have been possible
