Contribution of low impact development practices-bioretention systems towards urban flood resilience: case study of Novi Sad, Serbia

Bioretention systems are globally the most accepted Low Impact Development (LID) practices. In this study, we simulated bioretention performances for four locations in city of Novi Sad, with RECARGA modelling software. The primary objective research was to evaluate potential runoff reduction. second suggest model as a support future decision-making processes. Analysis sensitivity design parameters on performances, involved variations related different sizes systems, application an underdrain, difference soil texture and changes depth each individual layer. total average volume retained by ranged from 43.33 93.84%, while some single simulation results were 100%. Among all tested parameters, size native hydraulic conductivity have shown greatest influence reduction rate. This study provides information about developing site-specific solutions needed prevent urban flooding area where still not sufficiently applied practice. obtained methodology can be other also it extended cities similar problems.
