PARAMETREE: An Algorithmic-Parametric Tool for Evaluating the Contribution of the Trees on Rainwater Management

Martins, Iago Longue ; Lyra, Ana Paula Rabello ;

Full Article:

This paper explores the application of an algorithmic-parametric tool that uses urban forestry as a design strategy to reduce the occurrence of flooding. The study was carried out following three main stages: (1) a literature review on the capacity of rainwater retention in tree species with dense canopies; (2) the creation of an algorithmic-parametric tool using C# scripting in Grasshopper to calculate the influence of the trees in reducing the runoff coefficient; and (3) a simulation using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper to verify the performance of such tool. The results show a new method of calculation to estimate the runoff formation in urbanized areas as well as it confirms the contribution of the trees in mitigating flooding.
