The study compared different infiltration models and found that the Horton model performed well, with parameters easily obtainable through monitoring. Therefore, it can be used to describe the infiltration performance of PBPs effectively.
Permeable brick pavement system (PBPs) is one of a widely used low impact development (LID) measures to alleviate runoff volume and pollution caused by urbanization. The performance of PBPs on decreasing runoff volume is decided by its permeability, and it was general described by hydraulic conductivity based on Darcy's law. But there is large error when using hydraulic conductivity to describe the infiltration of PBPs, and which infiltration process is not following to the Darcy's law, so it is important to found a more accurate infiltration models to describe the infiltration of PBPs. The Horton, Philip, Green-Ampt, and Kostiakov infiltration models were selected to found an optimal model to investigate infiltration performance of PBPs via lab-scale experiment, and the maximum absolute error (MAE), Bias, and coefficient of determination (R-2) were selected to evaluate the models' errors via fitting with experiment data. The results showed that the fitting accuracy of Kostiakov, Philip, and Green-Ampt models was significantly affected by the monitoring area and hydraulic gradients. Meanwhile, Horton model is fitting well (MAE = 0.25-0.32 cm/h, Bias = 0.07-0.11 cm/h, and R-2 = 0.98-0.99) with the experiment data, and the parameters of Horton model often can be achieved by monitoring, such as the maximum infiltration rate and the stable infiltration rate. Therefore, the Horton model is an optimal model to describe the infiltration performance of PBPs, which can also be adopt to evaluate hydrological characterization of PBPs.
