Applicability of the EPA-SWMM bioretention module to simulate the hydrological performance of experimental stormwater trees 1: Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, France; 2: Cerema, France This study investigates the ability of the bioretention module in the EPA SWMM software to describe tree-based stormwater management solutions using 2 years monitoring data from a pilot system with 3 maple trees. The analysis is conducted by running simulations for a set of configurations within the space of model parameters and then comparing their outputs to available measurements. The ability to simulate outflow dynamics, soil water storage variations and overall water balance is evaluated considering a variety of performance indicators. The approach allows identifying configurations that satisfactorily replicate the different observations independently. For instance, Nash Sutliffe Efficiency respectively reaches 0.6 and 0.9 for outflow and soil water storage variations, and volumetric error for outflow often remains below 10%. Yet, achieving good performance simultaneously for the aspects analysed (outflow and soil water storage dynamics as well as cumulative outflow volume) remains challenging. | |
