| Date Issued | July 2023 |
| Abstract | The developing anthropogenic forces our society is imposing on the environment has constantly been taking a toll on our capabilities to achieve sustainability. The increasing population, along with the occurrence of urbanization and climate change have been dealing hydrologic problems in cities around the globe, not only diminishing the community’s comfort of living but also imposing hazards and risks brought about by urban flooding. The Philippines being a tropical country experiences long periods of rain making it vulnerable to urban flooding. Despite the availability of conventional stormwater management practices, the problem remains across the country. Due to the situation, a more sustainable strategy for stormwater management is a timely solution to mitigate the adverse impacts of the rapid development of cities. Low Impact Developments have been used by multiple countries across the globe as a sustainable alternative for stormwater management. These strategies are seen as beneficial especially in highly dense urban areas for their capability to be retrofitted into existing structures and landscape elements, furthermore the increase in area of impervious cover could be improved through the implementation of LID as retrofits. This paper identifies LID capable of being retrofitted and evaluates the ability of these strategies to manage stormwater runoff, and their efficiency based on cost, installation, and water holding capacity. This paper studies the viability of Low Impact Developments as a stormwater management strategy for the urbanized city of Taguig. |
