| description | With the increasing frequency of extreme rainfall events, enhancing urban drainage systems’ regulation capacity is crucial for mitigating urban flooding. Existing studies primarily analyze infrastructure impacts on peak flow delay but often lack a systematic exploration of time-lag mechanisms. This study introduces the time-lag parameter, using the hysteresis curve of the water level–flow rate relationship to quantify drainage system dynamics. An SWMM-based drainage model was developed for the Rongdong area of Xiong’an New District to evaluate the independent roles of green, gray, and blue infrastructures in peak flow reduction and time-lag modulation. The results indicate that green infrastructure extends the horizontal width and reduces the vertical height of the hysteresis curve, prolonging time lag and making it effective for small-to-medium rainfall. Gray infrastructure enhances drainage efficiency by compressing the hysteresis curve horizontally and increasing its vertical height, facilitating rapid drainage but offering limited peak reduction. Blue infrastructure, by lowering outlet water levels, improves drainage capacity and reduces time lag, demonstrating adaptability across various rainfall scenarios. This study systematically quantifies the role of each infrastructure type in time-lag regulation and proposes a collaborative optimization strategy for urban drainage system design. |
