1 Sponge City Construction in China a strong vision for the future Klimatilpasningsdagene 2018 September 12-13, 2018 Stavanger, Norge Dr. Linmei Nie Centre for Sustainable Development and Innovation (CSDI) Stiftelse CSDI WaterTech

2 Outline Sponge City - a response to global and national challenges in China. The Sponge City Construction: Concept, methods, management approach, finance and pilot projects. Examples Success and Barriers, challenges during the pilot period. Assessment indicators and standard. International impacts and collaboration. Possibilities for cooperation between Norway and China. Centre for Sustainable Development and Innovation of Water Technology

3 Problems and challenges Urbanization: growth of population in cities, increasing water demand and sewage discharge, more buildings and impervious areas, more cars, Climate change: more frequent intense precipitation, increasing temperature, sea level rise, resulting in more extreme events; Aging drainage networks and insufficient drainage capacity Energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Centre for Sustainable Development and Innovation of Water Technology

4 Special problems and challenges in China Population Urbanization & Industrialization Climate change: Flooding& Drought, Severe water pollution Deterioration of ecosystem Human induced problems!!

5 Urbanization (around ) Everywhere is buildings and people!

6 Urban transportation How to cross the roads?

7 Urban flooding ( , Beijing) Torrential rain started 10:00 21st July lasted 02:00 22nd July Downpour rain 164 mm in average in Beijing (212 mm in city area in average), accounted return period of 1 in 61 years (Average annual precipitation: mm)

9 Can we survive in such environment? NO!!

10 Political initiative In 2014, President Xi Jinping officially indorsed the concept of Sponge City and launched Sponge City Construction all over China- Build a green and sustainable society and construction of ecological civilization. Key changes of the SC concept: Change from demanding-oriented approach to resources-oriented approach. Change from development dominated approach to take into account the impact to the environment and sustainability. Change from downstream remediation to a systematic and comprehensive approach of source control-process management-downstream remediation. Change from drainage-driven approach to a holistic approach: infiltration, detention, storage, purification and reuse.

11 What is Sponge City? A city where its surface and underground systems act like a sponge to absorb, infiltrate, store, and purify the rainwater for different types of reuse, before it is discharge Similar as SUDS, BMPs, LID, WSUDs and more in many other countries in the world. BUT it was developed in a unique way targeting to solve or mitigate the severe water related problems.

12 Objective of the Sponge City Control the total volume of annual runoff Reduce the peak value of runoff Pollution control Increase the reuse of stormwater resources.
