Nature Based Solutions for Urban Water Management
Project 1: Monitoring Water Sensitive Urban Design performance
Summary:
-
This project aims to explore the potential of a low-cost water sensor in monitoring work.
-
Its performance was compared with a traditional water sensor.
-
Low-cost sensor showed good accuracy.
-
With acceptable accuracy and affordability, the low-cost sensor is worth for further testing and use in monitoring.

Project 2: Nature-based solutions for flood risk
Summary:
-
Deforestation and unplanned development increase flood risk.
-
This project aims to understand the conditions needed to mitigate the risks and incorporate them into urban planning.
-
Research is advanced in modelling riverine flooding in response to changes in land management and flood exposure & risk.
-
Current work focuses on a case study in the Chindwin Basin, Myanmar.
