Abstract
El constante desarrollo urbano de las últimas décadas ha dado como resultado una impermeabilización masiva del suelo natural para su urbanización. Esto ha desembocado en un gran incremento de los problemas relacionados con la gestión del agua en las ciudades. Se ha realizado una revisión de la bibliografía relacionada con la potencial aplicación de Sistemas Urbanos de Drenaje Sostenible (SUDS), especialmente firmes permeables y cubiertas verdes, en procesos de rehabilitación hidrológica urbana. Se han estudiado las diferentes propiedades que estos sistemas ofrecen en la gestión hídrica de núcleos urbanos como la reducción del volumen y del caudal punta de la escorrentía
superficial generada a partir de un evento de lluvia. Además se han analizado los costes asociados y los factores determinantes en su aplicación en procesos regeneración urbana. En todos los casos analizados se ha observado su efectividad para reducir el volumen y el caudal de escorrentía superficial. De las investigaciones realizadas hasta el momento, se desprende que las cualidades de estos sistemas los convierten en elementos con un gran potencial de aplicación en procesos de rehabilitación hidrológica urbana, permitiendo recuperar parte del equilibrio asociado al ciclo natural del agua.
The constant urban development of the last decades has resulted in a massive waterproofing of natural land for urbanization. This has resulted in a large increase in problems related to water management in cities. A review of the literature related to the potential application of Urban Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS), especially permeable terraces and green roofs, has been carried out in urban hydrological rehabilitation processes. The different properties that these systems offer in the water management of urban centers have been studied, such as the reduction in volume and peak flow of surface runoff generated from a rain event. In addition, the associated costs and the determining factors in their application in urban regeneration processes have been analyzed. In all the cases analyzed, its effectiveness has been observed to reduce the volume and flow rate of surface runoff. From the research carried out so far, it follows that the qualities of these systems make them elements with great potential for application in urban hydrological rehabilitation processes, allowing the recovery of part of the balance associated with the natural water cycle.
