Abstract

A system for treating rainwater runoff from an underlying surface, including: a rainwater collecting facility, a primary runoff treatment facility, a first biological filtration facility, a second biological filtration facility, a third biological filtration facility, and a drainage canal. A pavement open channel is connected to the water inlet of the primary runoff treatment facility. The water outlet of the primary runoff treatment facility is connected to the water inlet of the first biological filtration facility. A square pipeline is connected to the water inlet of the second biological filtration facility. The water outlet of the first biological filtration facility, the water outlet of the second biological filtration facility, and a roof drainage pipeline are connected to the water inlet of the third biological filtration facility. The third biological filtration facility is connected to the drainage canal.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A system for treating rainwater runoff from an underlying surface, the system comprising:
a) a rainwater collecting facility, the rainwater collecting facility comprising: a pavement open channel, a square pipeline, and a roof drainage pipeline; b) a primary runoff treatment facility, the primary runoff treatment facility comprising: a sand deposit well, a gravel wall, and a grass ditch; c) a first biological filtration facility; d) a second biological filtration facility; e) a third biological filtration facility; and f) a drainage canal;
wherein
the pavement open channel is connected to a water inlet of the primary runoff treatment facility;
a water outlet of the primary runoff treatment facility is connected to a water inlet of the first biological filtration facility;
the square pipeline is connected to a water inlet of the second biological filtration facility;
a water outlet of the first biological filtration facility, a water outlet of the second biological filtration facility, and the roof drainage pipeline are connected to a water inlet of the third biological filtration facility; and
the third biological filtration facility is connected to the drainage canal;
the sand deposit well is disposed at a front end of the grass ditch;
the gravel wall is disposed at a wall of the sand deposit well in adjacent to a side of the grass ditch;
the grass ditch comprises a first slag layer, a first sand layer, a first soil layer, and a first lawn from bottom to top;
each of the first biological filtration facility, the second biological filtration facility, and the third biological filtration facility comprises a biological filtration pool and a water collecting well;
a perforated pipe is buried in a gravel layer of the biological filtration pool;
the perforated pipe communicates with the water collecting well; and
the gravel layer, a geotextile, a second slag layer, a second sand layer, a second soil layer, and a second lawn are arranged in the biological filtration pool from bottom to top.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first lawn and the second lawn are planted with Cynodon dactylon (Linn)) Pers.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the perforated pipe in the biological filtration pool has a longitudinal slop of 0.5%.
