Probabilistic Design of Multi-use Rainwater Tanks

AbstractMany studies have revealed that traditional approaches in urban stormwater drainage may sometimes be insufficient to manage properly the unbalance of water cycle due to urbanization. In response to these increasing concerns, many cities have encouraged the applications of local disposal of rainwater. In particular multi-use rainwater tanks, combine the advantages of infiltration basins and tanks for rainwater use.This paper proposes a procedure for their design based on an analytical probabilistic approach. Finally, an application to a case study is presented
