Abstract Runoff control and non-point source pollution reduction in a sponge reconstruction community in a rainy city were studied using online monitoring and model simulations of a typical community in the sponge city pilot area. The rainfall-runoff volume and the suspended solid (SS) concentration were monitored continually at the two outlets from the community. A storm water management model (SWMM) was used to simulate the runoff control and non-point source pollution reduction in the sponge city design. Then, the model parameters were calibrated and validated against a natural rainfall event during the monitoring period. The results showed that all of the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficients were greater than 0.71, which ensured the model accuracy. Finally, the model was used to evaluate the effect of total runoff control and non-point source pollution reduction for 2 scenarios "before" and "after" the sponge city construction. The results showed that the sponge city construction helped control the runoff volume and reduce the non-point source pollution. After the sponge city construction, the total annual runoff rate was 52.9% of the total rainfall, the annual runoff was reduced by 28.0%, and the pollutant load was reduced by 66.3%. Overall, the runoff rate exceeded 70% for 81 rainfall events. Extreme rainfall events and the rainfall characteristics for each rainfall event have varying degrees of influence on the rainfall control rates. The average rainfall control rate in this study area in 2009 was 86.5%. The average rainfall control rates were 79.9% for light storms and 88.2% for severe storms. The rainfall amount and the preceding dry period strongly influenced the runoff control capacity. The average rainfall control rates were 98.1% for a light rainfall (< 15 mm), 73.8% for a moderate rainfall (10~25 mm) and 52.9% for a heavy rainfall (> 25 mm). For rainfall events after dry periods of 6 days or more (15 events in total), the rainfall runoff control rate exceeded 90%. The rainfall duration and average rainfall intensity had little effect on the rainfall runoff control rate.
