Abstract

Rainwater management and design for impervious land is an important method of rainwater resource utilization and mitigation of negative impacts on surface runoff. Through the research and analysis of rainwater management cases in domestic and foreign courtyards, we can learn that these courtyards take the improvement of rainwater storage capacity as main purpose, meanwhile integrate the external overall water system into design to build up a sustainable water storage and row system , as well a system emulating water circulation in nature. In terms of some specific methods, domestic traditional courtyards pay more attention to the collection and utilization of rainwater. as long as we no longer consider the rainwater as waste can be discharged directly and manage it as valuable resource, we can keep it using our endless imagination. There are three main points to improve sponginess design in the courtyard space: detention and storage to absorb rainwater locally, input and output to regulate runoff and technology combining art to be multifunctional.
