Abstract

Urban runoff pollution has become one of the important limiting factors hindering the continuous improvement of water environment. In the process of drainage system reconstruction, the evaluation of interception pipeline for the collection and storage efficiency of initial rainwater is an important work. Therefore, this study uses the analytic hierarchy process to establish an evaluation system and method containing 4 first-level indicators and 10 second-level indicators to evaluate the comprehensive efficiency of the interception pipeline for initial rainwater collection and storage. Taking the interception pipeline in a drainage system in Shanghai as a case study, the established evaluation method was adopted to evaluate it, and the comprehensive indexes under the rainfall return periods of 0.5 year, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years were calculated. The results indicated that the evaluation method could be well applied to the effectiveness evaluation of intercepting pipelines in drainage systems, and could provide technical support for the planning and design of urban runoff pollution control projects in the future.
