FACILITIES FOR THE PERCOLATION OF PRECIPITATION WATER IN THE AREA OF THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IN KOSICE
Abstract
Hygienic problems and the protection of property against floods have been successfully solved by existing concepts of drainage. However, the way of urban drainage has led to intensification of urbanization impact on hydrological regime of the country. Technologically, environmentally and economically purposeful urban drainage prevents rapid runoff of waste water. New concept s upports such way which resembles natural way of drainage in unstopped floods and which reduces negative consequences of country urbanization. A consistent coor dination between properties and the whole concept of urban drainage represents the basic condition for the implementation of the new concept of urban drainage. The future concept of the urban drainage systems should fully suit the principles of sustainable development. In many parts of Europe water use is unsustainable and therefore is desirable to provide recommendations for a new approach to managing water resources in practise. Sewage systems of residential units were constructed as a si ngle system in the past. Tribal sewers of most cities are now congested. Reasonable rain water management leads to maintain or recover a sound and sustainable water cycle. This i nvolves retentions, inf iltrations, vegetation strips, paving and design tec hniques, and so on. New concept of capture and use water from surface run-off provides a platform for a new technical and non-technical measures, both in drained on each property, as well as the public part of urban drainage area. The purpose of the paper is to present precipitation water management by using facilities for the percolation. Percolation shaft is one of the possible alternatives that are able to regulate sewer loads, regulate groundwater quantity and quality, and to reduce the risk of floods.
