Table 1: Scenarios of future development in Kupferzell<br />

Name of scenario Description<br />

Linear scenario (lin) Extrapolation of the actual development based on statistical in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

Loading case scenario (lf) Combination of the results of a sensitivity analysis with plausible<br />

extremes <strong>for</strong> the boundary conditions. Maximum load <strong>for</strong> the system.<br />

Growth-oriented scenario Boundary conditions <strong>for</strong> a individualistic and consumer-oriented<br />

(wo)<br />

Conservational scenario<br />

(ko)<br />

society, based on a literature study.<br />

Boundary conditions <strong>for</strong> a society with a focus on ecology and social<br />

engagement<br />

Each of the four scenarios listed in Table 1 is representing a state in 50 years from now.<br />

Considered are changes regarding heavy rainfall (design storm), annual rainfall, temperature<br />

and evapotranspiration, population, economical growth, landuse (commercial, residential,<br />

agriculture, <strong>for</strong>est), water consumption (industry, private), water pollution and traffic load.<br />

Table 2: Variants <strong>for</strong> <strong>stormwater</strong> <strong>management</strong> in Kupferzell<br />

Combined sewer system New areas will be drained with a combined sewer system<br />

(mw)<br />

Separate sewer system New areas will be drained with a separated sewer system<br />

(tw)<br />

Decentralised system Stormwater runoff from new areas will be managed with a decentralised<br />

(dw)<br />

infiltration system<br />

Extended decentralised Stormwater runoff from new areas will be managed with a decentralised<br />

system (dwa)<br />

infiltration system. In addition 20% of the existing impervious area will<br />

be disconnected, <strong>for</strong> another 20% green roofs will be implemented and<br />

20% of the water supply will be covered by rainwater utilisation.<br />
