Today’s Presentation

• Outline method to identify, validate and protect Overland Flow Paths (OLFP’s)in the urban environment of North Shore City.

• How we assess the impacts to and from OLFP’S

• LIDAR Survey, Modelling and GIS support sustainability objectives

What is an Overland Flow Path?

Overland flow path:

The route followed by stormwater which runs over the surface of the ground (overland flow) when it becomes concentrated as it makes its way downhill following the path of least resistance towards streams and watercourses or the sea.

Page 10: Morphum Environmental Ltd Environmental Engineers and Consultants morphum

• In 2004 a LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey was flown of NSC.

• LIDAR is a technology that uses pulses of laser light striking the surfaces of the earth and measures the time of pulse return generating elevation data points.

• This data can be used to create a digital terrain model or DTM. A DTM is a simple digital representation of a portion of the earth’s surface.

Data Collection and OLFP Survey Method

The mapped courses/paths of the OLFP were used by a field Engineer to evaluate the impacts of and to the OLFP from the built environment. This included:

– roads– stormwater infrastructure – buildings and; – all other major obstructions

The Impact of Roads

• Road Shape

• Intersections

• Catchpits

• Control of Vehicle Crossings

• Berm Shape

A Tool to Mitigate Effects

• By using the OLFP model and mapping the locations where they cross roads or discharge from roads the “Spill Points” can be located across an urban area or any other drainage network.

• Providing the opportunity to better plan roads in new subdivisions and investigate, designate and/or schedule works to mitigate the identified adverse affects from uncontrolled (and often unidentified) spill points.

Habitable Floor Flooding

Page 30: Morphum Environmental Ltd Environmental Engineers and Consultants morphum

Potential Habitable Floor Flooding

Identifying habitable floor level flooding is a major outcome of the study. The potential for both non and habitable floors to be flooded by OLFP is significant.

A Tool for Urban Design

• The location and magnitude of OLFP’s is a valuable information resource that can influence the location and design of urban dwellings.

• The detailed OLFP data now available to NSC will support better stormwater planning and design and urban design in general.

• This in turn will support the more sustainable development of NSC.

Page 33: Morphum Environmental Ltd Environmental Engineers and Consultants morphum

Knowledge is Power and Serves Integration

• There is a general “unawareness” throughout the surveyed area of both the threat to property from free-flowing water and measures available to mitigate that threat.

• It is suspected that “unawareness” stems from a full reliance on the primary piped system and the private on-site systems leading to it.

• It is suggested that Council provide an advisory service on private drainage issues, options and responsibilities.

Knowledge is Power and Serves Integration

• Developments can be checked at the resource consent phase for management of these overland flow paths. Ensuring these parts of the stormwater system are allowed for in general

• OLFP’s can and do impact on the way we live and are an integral part of Stormwater Catchment Areas. Runoff along OLFP’s can flood the floors of residential dwellings and damage industrial properties.
