Unprecedented localized heavy rainfall after finishing rainy season during the short term at the middle area (July 26~28. 2011) ※ the amount of precipitation (588mm) during 3 days(7.26~28) in Seoul is the highest record since weather observation carried (From 1907)
Annual amount of rainfall is increased, but the number of occurrence and average duration time of rainfall is decreased ⇒ Localized heavy rainfall is increased
Occurrence frequency of localized heavy rainfall(over 80mm per a hour) is increased 1.7times from 22 days in 1970’s to 37 days in 2000’s
History of Sewerage Policy
※ Afterwards – General measure for clear water supply in 1993, General measure for water management in 1996 and General measure for 4 major rivers water management in 1999
※ Feasibility study on nationwide sewer maintenance during 2002-2004 [1 sewer spot per every 8.6m showed defects)

3 Sewerage Policy against Urban Flooding
2. Solutions
Localized heavy rains are frequently occurring but the design capacity for Sewer pipeline does not properly reflect it.
※Maximum hourly precipitation in Seoul in July 2011: 113 mm ↔ Drainage capacity: Sewer 65 ~ 75 mm, Drainage pump station 65 ~ 88 mm
Design to efficiently prevent flooding is insufficient, and inefficient operation between Sewerage facilities without organic connections
※ In the design method for sewerage for area prone to floods, insufficient consideration
for water control capability for sewer pipelines, detention storage facilities and
pump station
※ Even though pump station’s discharge capability is sufficient, rainwater cannot be
immediately flow Into retarding basin due to insufficient capacity of sewer pipelines
and thus flooding damage is occurred.
A. Expansion of sewerage to get rid of the areas prone to flood
B. Application of State-of-the-art Design/Operation technique

Reorganization of sewerage facility standard to cope with the increase in the intensity
of precipitation and the number of days for localized heavy rain is required
