Study On Feasibility Of Solution For Drainage System In District 8, Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

Due to floods and consequences of climate change, sustainable drainage issues have been researched in the world. In Vietnam, this problem has been going, but not fully studied. In recent years, climate change has been strongly influencing Vietnam. The temperature and the amount of rain has increasingly affected large cities. Ho Chi Minh City and many other cities, the flooding problem becomes more difficult. Despite a great deal of improvement projects and the traditional solution of drainage for controlling floods; however, the issue has not been eliminated. This not only affects the beauty of the urban area and activities of citizens but also leads to a series of negative consequences such as epidemics and economic losses. Some environmentally friendly solutions have been approached, such as the application of ecological engineering (KTST) to make green roofs for increasing the permeability area and the permeable surface. Therefore, this study is conducted with the aim of approaching and applying advanced solutions in the field of sustainable and effective drainage in the world in order to find suitable solutions. Sustainable drainage includes solutions to reduce flooding in urban areas in Vietnam in general and District 8 - Ho Chi Minh City in particular.
