Abstract

In order to mitigate urban flooding and combined sewer overflows, an integrated assessment method was proposed to identify the optimum reconstruction scheme of a drainage system by considering environment, economy, and society. The integrated assessment framework consisted of the drainage system model establishment, analytic hierarchy process theory, and regret value method. Five drainage system reconstruction schemes for Chaohu city were proposed in this study, and they were evaluated according to nine assessment factors by the integrated assessment method at the initial and future stages. The integrated assessment results show that setting up interceptive equipment for a combined drainage network is the optimal reconstruction scheme at both the initial and future stages of the life cycle. This means that an interceptive combined drainage network is better than a separate drainage network or setting up storage tanks in particular situations from a comprehensive perspective.
