    Evaluating the performance of on-site stormwater detention based on the technical guidelines for developing stormwater projects in Belo Horizonte (MG, Brazil)

    by Mirelle Lopes Dias, Talita Fernanda das Graças Silva, Pedro de Paula Drumond, Deyvid Wavel Barreto Rosa, Priscilla Moura

    Standardized design criteria and performance assessment of parcel-level on-site stormwater detention (OSD) remain limited. This study evaluates the hydrological impact of OSD — designed per Belo Horizonte’s (Minas Gerais, Brazil) municipal guidelines — at both parcel and catchment scales using hydrological modeling in a highly impervious, flood-prone subcatchment. Results indicate that while existing guidelines are generally effective, volume sizing could be optimized. OSD implemented across 31.8% of the catchment significantly reduced peak flows, though effectiveness varied by spatial scale. At the parcel level, outflows decreased by 72.3% for 2-year and 50.7% for 100-year return period rainfalls, with delay in peak times of 41.7%. At the catchment level, peak flow reductions reached 24.6% (2-year) and 26.4% (100-year). Flow routing at the catchment outlet revealed reductions in channel overflow volumes and maximum water heights by 75.5%, 54%, and 49% for 2-, 10-, and 50-year events, respectively.
