Assessing hydrological behaviours of Sustainable Drainage Systemswith the Town Energy Balance Model

The Sustainable Drainage System module of the Town Energy Balance model (TEB-SUDS) was developed based on the Equivalent Sustainable Drainage System (E-SUDS) approach and has previously been applied to assess the hydrological responses of individual SUDS types. This study extends the analysis by evaluating the hydrological responses of aggregations of different compartments within an SUDS facility using the TEB-SUDS module. The presented results are benchmarked against the well- established Low Impact Development (LID) module of Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), demonstrating the high capability of the TEB-SUDS module in modelling the hydrological processes of SUDS facility for stormwater management.
