Design and Analysis of a Sustainable Stormwater Management System for Urban Areas

Project Abstract

The rapid urbanization and increasing frequency of extreme weather events have highlighted the critical need for sustainable stormwater management systems in urban areas. This research project focuses on the design and analysis of an innovative stormwater management system that integrates green infrastructure practices to mitigate urban flooding, improve water quality, and enhance ecosystem services. The study aims to address the challenges associated with conventional stormwater management practices by proposing a holistic and environmentally friendly approach that promotes resilience and sustainability in urban environments.
