Planning VL - 1 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.3126/joetp.v1i0.38243 UR - https://www.nepjol.info/index.php/joetp/article/view/38243 SP - 32-44 AB - <p>Groundwater table depletion and increasing flood events can be easily realized in urban areas. It is necessary to improve existing storm water management systems for good quality water environment and reduced hydro-meteorological disasters while preserving our natural/pristine environment in a sustainable manner. This can be achieved through optimal collection, infiltration and storage of storm water. The need of sustainable storm water management is desired and optimal capture measure is explored in this paper. This paper provides a review of storm water management in urbanization and climate change context with a case study of Tokyo Metropolitan, Japan which could be helpful in mitigating the dual problems of groundwater depletion and flood events. This paper presents the overview of storm water run-off management in order to guide future storm water management policies. Also, the effects of different onsite facilities from water harvesting, reuse, ponds and infiltration are explored to establish adaptation strategies that restore water cycle and reduce climate change induced flood and water scarcity.</p> ER -
