Stormwater Sewerage Masterplan for Flood Control Applied to a University Campus

Floods generated by rain cause significant economic and human losses. The campus of the Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral (ESPOL) has a drainage system that conducts stormwater to two discharge points outside campus. works effectively at macro-drainage level. However, very crowded area is deficient micro-drainage level, which registered flooding proliferation vectors affect people’s health. This work aimed design masterplan for sewerage analyzing existing situation applying technical criteria allow establishment solutions strategies control floods university methodology consisted of: (i) data collection processing diagnosis; (ii) proposal (iii) SWOT analysis propose improvement in water management. resulting flows return periods 5 years, 10 25 years are 9.67 m3/s, 11.85 15.85 respectively. In latter, as most critical (presence flooding), implementation trapezoidal channel 80.20 m long, with capacity 1.00 period was proposed. will contribute execution activities within prevent accidents diseases, constituting water-management model can be replicated locally, regionally, internationally.
