提到西雅图,人们的脑海中会情不自禁地浮现出《西雅图夜未眠》中忧郁的湖光山色,这里是波音(Boeing)的故乡,微软(Microsoft)的大本营,星巴克(Starbucks Coffee)的发源地……浪漫而婉约的城市,离不开西雅图市政府将都市的可持续性发展作为信息时代经济、社会和环境和谐发展的战略总方针。在暴雨管理和面源污染控制上,西雅图市无疑是美国BMPs和LID强有力的推行者。西雅图公用事业局在暴雨管理方面可谓颇具创意,他们采取怎样的管理模式筹集资金?如何开创通过保护环境来促进经济发展的典型模式?构建了哪些新的理念达到面源污染控制的最终目的之一——合流制系统污水溢流的零排放?这些都是我们身在异国的水务工作者所关心的问题,这些问题的答案同样是中国城市在解决暴雨径流污染问题时的他山之石。 When it comes to Seattle, one can not help noticing the melancholic lakes of Seattle's sleepless night, the home of Boeing, the home base of Microsoft and the birthplace of Starbucks Coffee ... Romantic and graceful cities can not be separated from the city of Seattle's sustainable development of the city as a strategic guideline for the harmonious development of economy, society and environment in the information age. Seattle is undoubtedly a strong promoter of BMPs and LIDs in the United States for stormwater management and non-point source pollution control. Seattle Public Utilities Bureau is quite innovative in stormwater management, what kind of management model they take to raise funds? How to create a typical model for economic development through environmental protection? What new ideas to build one of the ultimate goal of non-point source pollution control - Zero Emissions from Sluicing Overflow in a Combined System? These are questions of concern to foreign hydrologists. The answers to these questions are also the stones of other cities in China to solve the problem of stormwater runoff.
