Globally, urban infill is stressing existing stormwater systems, necessitating costly infrastructure upgrades. Although household rainwater tanks provide significant distributed storage, they have virtually no impact on reducing peak flows for rare, long duration events. This study introduces an innovative “smart systems” approach to operating tanks to overcome this limitation. Smart tanks are operated as systems and tank opening/closing is optimised to reduce peak flows. To evaluate the proposed approach, we develop a simulation-optimization model by coupling SWMM with a multi-objective genetic algorithm. The results for a two allotment case study show a consistent reduction in peak flows for a 24 hour, 1 in 100-year storm for a range of r...
