Abstract:

The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats(SWOT)analysis method is applied to assess the feasibility of traditional stormwater management and low impact development(LID)in China. The results show that traditional stormwater management has many disadvantages, e.g. only stormwater collection and discharge or flooding peak-flow regulation is taken into consideration but lack of many important functions such as on-site infiltration, non-point pollution control, ecological treatment, etc. Meanwhile, as a new stormwater management concept, the LID system has many advantages, e.g. LID can not only control rainwater quantity but also effectively prevent non-point pollution. Moreover, LID is easy for implementation and cost effective, and operation and management can also be done easily. LID has attracted more and more attention from governmental authorities at different levels and the majority of practitioners. Therefore, LID has bright prospects for wide applications in China.
