- Abstract:
- In recent years, serious floods have occurred in many cities of China during the flood season, making urban floods a pain point in urban planning and construction, which has aroused extensive concern in the community. Hong Kong is one of the cities with the highest rainfall in the world, and with a high density of urban construction, suffering from urban flooding. Since 1989, Hong Kong has greatly improved the problem of urban flooding through the establishment of institutional safeguards, long-term efforts, and a combination of engineering and non-engineering measures such as flash flood interception, rainwater storage, river and channel dredging, drainage rehabilitation, pumping stations, source stormwater runoff control and emergency warning, which can serve as a reference for the management of flooding in many high density built-up areas in other cities of China.
