Sustainable Water Management Through Green Infrastructure
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This research explores the implementation of sustainable water management practices through green infrastructure (GI) solutions. As urbanization intensifies, traditional water management systems face challenges such as flooding, water pollution, and reduced biodiversity. Green infrastructure, which integrates natural processes into urban planning, offers innovative strategies for stormwater management, water quality enhancement, and habitat restoration. This study examines various GI techniques, including rain gardens, permeable pavements, and green roofs, assessing their effectiveness in mitigating urban water challenges. Case studies from multiple cities demonstrate the benefits of GI in promoting resilience against climate change while enhancing community well-being. The findings underscore the potential of green infrastructure as a viable alternative to conventional water management methods, advocating for its broader adoption in urban environments.
