The present invention belongs to the technical field of landscape garden engineering, and specifically discloses a salt-isolated rain garden structure. The salt-isolated rain garden structure includes a depression surrounded by side slopes, where a 10 cm thick drainage layer, a 10-30 cm thick filler layer, a 5 cm thick transition layer, a 20-30 cm thick planting layer, a 0.2-0.5 cm thick mulch layer and a 15-20 cm thick ponding layer are stacked in order from the bottom of the depression to up; a salt barrier is disposed between the planting layer and the transition layer and/or between the drainage layer and a saline layer; a vertical overflow pipe and a horizontal drainage pipe are disposed at the bottom of the depression; the overflow pipe and drainage pipe are connected; the salt barrier is filled with river sand, zeolite or ceramsite and is 10-20 cm in thickness.

A remote sensing-based dynamic estimation method for the outflow process of an ungauged free overflow reservoir comprising the following steps: estimating the storage volumes of the water reservoir at different water levels from the water level-area relation curve of the water reservoir by using a digital elevation model, and thereby establishing an area-storage volume relation curve of the water reservoir; obtaining the storage volumes of the water reservoir at the corresponding times; obtaining the change of the storage volume of the water reservoir through accumulative calculation on the change of the storage volume in the time periods corresponding to the two remote sensing images; gradually approximating an outflow coefficient of the water reservoir by using a bisection method; taking the final approximation result as the outflow coefficient of the ungauged reservoir, and calculating the outflow process of the water reservoir during floods.

A flood control system for remotely and automatically controlling flooding and water storage on reservoirs. The flood control system generally includes a central computer that controls the water level by controlling or communicating with flow control gates positioned near a number of culverts, wherein each flow control gate typically includes: (a) a control unit communicatively coupled to the central computer, the control unit capable of sending local condition data to the central computer via a wireless connection and further capable of receiving control commands from the central computer; (b) an input/output interface capable of receiving signals or data regarding physical conditions proximate the flow control gate, the input/output interface coupled to the control unit; and (c) a water shutoff valve controllable by the control unit and positioned to selectively allow or block the flow of water through each culvert, wherein each control unit controls each water shutoff valve.

A bioretention system includes a number of connected wall portions defining an enclosure. Each wall portion includes a pair of spaced supports that support one or more panels that are interlocked with the pair of supports via mating interlocking features. Where a wall portion includes an upper panel atop of a lower panel, a lower edge of the upper panel and a top edge of the lower panel are in contact with each other to form the wall portion. The supports are then connected in spaced relation on the transverse axis by internal bars or beams which provide support for the wall portions without the need for external soil reinforcement.

Surface water, such as stormwater, is contained in a pond, or other containment having primary semi-isolated treatment areas constructed, or designated therein, which are suitable for establishing ecological communities for treatment of water within the containment. Water for treatment is induced to flow through the semi-isolated areas and the ecological communities therein for treating the water, such as by bio-filtering, breakdown and bioremediation of water-soluble or hydrocarbon-based contaminants and inhibition of the proliferation of waterborne pathogens. The treated water is then discharged from the semi-isolated areas, such as for use downstream. Discharge of the treated water from the primary semi-isolated treatment areas, as well as the use of pump systems, induces the flow of water through the semi-isolated areas and ecological communities therein to effect the treatment. Ecological communities may be established in relatively shallow secondary treatment areas in the containment and the recirculation of water therethrough may further act to treat the water in the containment.

A drainage device is provided. The device includes a novel floating surface drain or skimmer to manage draining of liquid, such as draining of water from stormwater impoundment ponds or structures.

A detention pond for the passive temporary storage of detained water during a potential flooding event near a river, stream or bayou where the depth and therefore the volume of the detention pond is not set by the elevation of the normally flowing water in said river, stream or bayou adjacent detention pond but rather the drain line connects to the river, stream or bayou downstream of the detention pond where the elevation is at a lower level, allowing the detention pond to be dug deeper and therefore of proportionately greater volume.
