Abstract

Despite the evolution in the field of urban drainage over the years, the challenge of design effective drainage systems is still complex due to the intense waterproof surfaces and the effects of water cycle change in urban areas. This paper analyzed the hydrological efficiency of bioretention systems and permeable pavements in a residential subdivision in Patrocínio-MG.  Efficiency was calculated by comparing the surface runoff volumes from several hydrological simulations using the Santa Barbara Method. Efficiency results for bioretention systems ranged from 7% to 12,9%, while for the combined use of bioretention systems with permeable pavements, the obtained results were 30,01% to 49,84%. Therefore, stands out the importance of combined use of best management practices, making possible the surface runoff reduction during severe rainfall events, as well as the landscape and sustainable improvement of the study area.
