7th Sustainability Webinar

Green Technologies for Urban Water Management

Dear Colleagues,

With rapid urbanisation and climate, cities are facing more challenges in the way they deal with urban water (stormwater, greywater, pre-treated domestic/commercial wastewater). Green technologies are one of the solutions labelled as nature friendly for stormwater management (and more recently being developed for treatment of more water types, e.g., greywater, pre-treated wastewater), including constructed wetlands, ponds, bioretentions (or raingardens), swales and porous pavements, etc. They sit under various sustainable concepts all over the world, e.g., water sensitive urban design (WSUD) in Australia, nature-based solutions (NBS) in Europe, sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) in UK, low impact developments (LIDs) in the USA, and more recently, sponge cities (SCs) in China. Green technologies are known to provide multiple benefits, e.g., frequent flooding and pollution mitigation, waterway health protection, microclimate improvement, and improvement of amenity values in urban landscapes.

In this webinar, we are fortunate to have invited four recognised researchers as our keynote speakers to talk about the current development and practice of green technologies urban water management across different regions of the world (e.g., Asia-Pacific, Europe). Latest advancement of these technologies by employing real time control techniques will also be shared to our audience.

We look forward to seeing you at the webinar.
