THE CYCLE OF FLOOD
-RELIEVE FLOOD DISASTERS AND SUPPLY GROUNDWATER THROUGH GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE COLLECTING RAINWATER IN BANGKOK The solution was selected to be located in Bangkok, Thailand. The excessive use of groundwater led to serious land subsidence, the altitude of some areas was even lower than sea level, and it was plagued by floods. In the plan, integrate flood control and flood risk reduction into urban greening network system, guided by Stormwater Management, the roof garden, fragmented green space, and streets will be built into a natural ecological Green Infrastructure framework. Utilize the function of water retention purification and seepage of urban green land to supply groundwater through rainwater natural infiltration and purified rainwater reuse and so on, to achieve the effect of promoting the stormwater recycling and the rebound of subsidence ground. A unique plant cultivation facility was designed for the Bangkok slums, and rainwater was collected and used in conjunction with its common slope roof construction.With this kind of macro planning and design method, the resilient landscape of Bangkok will be realized and a better living environment will be achieved.
