6.6 雨水管理

English（英文原文）	中文（中文翻译）
Rainwater management refers to managing stormwater runoff on a project site. Stormwater is water from rain or snowmelt. When rain falls on a natural, undeveloped landscape, much of the water is absorbed into the ground. Some of it is also absorbed by plants or evaporates. But in developed areas, impervious surfaces like roads, sidewalks, and rooftops prevent water from being absorbed. Stormwater becomes runoff, flowing over these surfaces and often picking up pollutants as it goes.	雨水管理是指对项目场地上的雨水径流进行管理。雨水是指来自降雨或融雪的水。当雨水降落在未开发的自然景观上时，大部分水会渗入地下。部分水也会被植物吸收或蒸发。但在已开发区域，道路、人行道和屋顶等不透水表面阻止了水的吸收。雨水变成径流，在这些表面流动，并经常沿途携带污染物。
Green Building Strategies	绿色建筑策略
Green buildings manage rainwater on site by reducing impervious surfaces and using natural or constructed systems that mimic natural processes. These systems are often referred to as green infrastructure. They include rain gardens, bioswales, permeable pavements, and green roofs. By managing rainwater where it falls, these strategies reduce the volume and speed of runoff, filter pollutants, recharge groundwater, and reduce the burden on municipal stormwater systems.	绿色建筑通过减少不透水表面并使用模拟自然过程的自然或人工系统来现场管理雨水。这些系统通常被称为绿色基础设施（green infrastructure）。它们包括雨水花园、生物滞留草沟（bioswales）、透水铺装和绿色屋顶。通过在雨水降落处进行管理，这些策略可以减少径流的体积和速度、过滤污染物、补充地下水，并减轻市政雨水系统的负担。
Common green infrastructure strategies include:	常见的绿色基础设施策略包括：
• Rain gardens: Shallow, vegetated depressions that capture and absorb runoff from rooftops, driveways, and other hard surfaces.	• 雨水花园：浅的、有植被的凹地，用于捕获和吸收来自屋顶、车道和其他硬质表面的径流。
• Bioswales: Linear, vegetated channels designed to convey, treat, and infiltrate stormwater runoff.	• 生物滞留草沟：线性的、有植被的沟渠，用于输送、处理和渗透雨水径流。
• Permeable pavements: Paving systems that allow water to pass through the surface into the ground below.	• 透水铺装：允许水通过表面渗入下方土壤的铺装系统。
• Green roofs: Roofs covered with vegetation that absorb rainfall, reduce runoff, provide insulation, and create habitat.	• 绿色屋顶：覆盖植被的屋顶，可吸收降雨、减少径流、提供保温效果并创造栖息地。
• Cisterns and rain barrels: Storage systems that capture rainwater from rooftops for later use, such as irrigation.	• 蓄水池和雨水桶：从屋顶收集雨水以便后续使用（如灌溉）的储存系统。
Implementing rainwater management not only reduces the environmental impact of stormwater but also contributes to LEED credits related to water efficiency and sustainable sites. Effective management of rainwater is increasingly important as climate change intensifies storm events, leading to more frequent and severe flooding in many regions.	实施雨水管理不仅减少雨水对环境的影响，还为LEED中与节水和可持续场地相关的得分做出贡献。随着气候变化加剧风暴事件，导致许多地区发生越来越频繁和严重的洪水，有效的雨水管理变得日益重要。
