Sponge City Construction Slashes Flood Risks and Pollution by 36%
The study looked at how low impact development (LID) practices can help control urban flooding and pollution. By using models, the researchers found that certain vertical parameters and installation locations can reduce suspended solids in stormwater runoff. They also discovered that a combination of LID practices is more effective than using just one. Installing green infrastructure downstream can further decrease overflow runoff and pollution. Overall, the study shows that LID practices can help manage stormwater and reduce pollution in urban areas.
