  • Publication number: 20140144850
    Abstract: A system for purifying rainfall runoff including a bar screen; a collection and diversion device; a filter channel; a grass ditch; and a water storage tank. The bar screen is disposed around the collection and diversion device for preliminarily filtering the road rainfall runoff. The collection and diversion device collects the road rainfall runoff and diverts early rainfall runoff to the filter channel, after the filter channel is full, later rainfall runoff is directly diverted to the grass ditch through open channels. The grass ditch includes a percolation bed capable of filtering the early and later rainfall runoff. The water storage tank is connected to the grass ditch via a guiding pipe, to receive the rainfall runoff effusing out of the grass ditch. Part of the rainfall runoff received by the water storage is transported to the percolation bed by a return conduit.

  • Publication number: 20140144835
    Abstract: A system for harvesting rainwater for use in a skirt building. The skirt building includes a main building and a podium supporting the main building. The system includes: a standpipe; a buffer channel; a filter channel; and a green roof. The green roof includes a vegetation region including a baffled diversion corridor, and a bottom filtering layer including a drainage pipe. The standpipe is arranged on the main building and is connected to the buffer channel where the energy of rainwater flowing out of the standpipe is dissipated. The buffer channel, the filter channel, and the green roof are arranged on the podium, and the buffer channel communicates with the filter channel. The filter channel is connected to the green roof. The filter channel is divided into a plurality of sections respectively filled with different matrix materials.

  • Publication number: 20140124424
    Abstract: An integrated system for treating and recycling rainwater in a residential community. The residential community includes low-lying land. The integrated system includes a primary channel for receiving and treating initial rainwater, a baffled water treatment pool, and a reservoir. The primary channel includes an external wall and an inner wall. The baffled water treatment pool includes a water inlet which is disposed on the inner wall of the primary channel. The reservoir includes a water inlet, a gravel filter layer, and an overflow wall. The primary channel, the baffled water treatment pool, and the reservoir are disposed in the low-lying land. The primary channel is annular and surrounds the baffled water treatment pool and the reservoir. The overflow wall of the reservoir cuts off the annular primary channel. The baffled water treatment pool and the reservoir are adjacent to each other and are divided by a shared wall.
