Monitoring for green infrastructure
Cities and urban centers face a major challenge in managing flood risk and stormwater effectively. To combat this issue, billions of dollars have been invested in green infrastructure systems and subsurface stormwater systems, strategically hidden by urban green spaces, to mitigate damage from heavy rainfall and flooding.
In built-up urban areas, water management is increasingly important where pavement and bricks are sealing soils, and preventing saturation of water. This is where green infrastructure comes into play to ensure flood resiliency and improve the viability of urban ecology.
