Stormwater management system in Bangkok Metropolitan
Abstract:
Effective stormwater management is crucial for urban sustainability, especially in cities facing increased urbanization and climate change impacts. Low Impact Development (LID) practices offer sustainable solutions by mimicking natural hydrological processes to reduce runoff and improve water quality. This report evaluates LID practices such as green roofs, permeable pavements, bioretention areas, retention ponds/wetlands, community rainwater harvesting, underground reservoirs, and SMART tunnels. Each practice is assessed based on costs, maintenance, benefits, limitations, performance, and environmental impacts. The findings highlight that green roofs and permeable pavements are effective in reducing runoff and enhancing urban aesthetics, while retention ponds and wetlands provide valuable flood storage and biodiversity benefits. Community rainwater harvesting offers localized water conservation benefits. The suitability of each LID practice for implementation in Bangkok is discussed, considering the citys unique urban challenges. This report provides insights into selecting appropriate LID strategies for urban contexts, facilitating informed decision-making for sustainable stormwater management in Bangkok and similar urban environments.
