Study on Urban Flood Control and Drainage in Beijing

Article Preview

Abstract:

On 21 July 2012, a huge thunderstorm hit Beijing, prompting the city government to act immediately to deal with the emergency. Yet great losses were caused, exposing problems about urban flood control and drainage, and making people take a new look at them. It is not uncommon for a rainfall of such a degree to happen in Asia. Comparatively speaking, however, unlike in Beijing, fewer damages are caused in Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines given the same situation. In this article, therefore, the problems arising after a heavy rainfall and their solutions will be discussed.
