Purple Project


RESEARCH PROJECT


Our Project for HYDROASIA 2010: Analysis of flood damage reduction by green area increase.

Green areas allows:

  • Water drainage: runoff decrease.

Depression shape; additional water storage during rainfall:

  • Relieves sewer system discharge.
  • Slows down the water flow, reduces concentration time.

Increases well-being and quality of life of the city's inhabitants, environmental friendly. 

 

Targets of our works

Determine the location of these  green areas:

  • Nature of soil and landuse?
  • Size?
  • Dimension?
  • Number?

Use of ArcGIS to determine potential locations.

Run the calibrated model again with new catchment characteristics and subsequently choose best solution...
