Storm Drainage
CREATIVE USE OF BIOWALES,
Most roads are not provided with proper drainage PERMEABLE PAVING, SILVA CELLS
systems. With the unpredictable weather in the AND VARIOUS OTHER STORM WATER
country, heavy downpour may cause some MANAGEMENT ELEMETS CAN
flooding in the said areas. It is highly CREATE A PLEASANT ENVIRONMENT
recommended to have a storm drainage system FOR THE COMMUNITY WHILE
that complies with the national standards and IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF STORM
incorporates Low Impact Development (LID) WATER RUNOFF
elements to meet the campus sustainable goals of
storm water management.
Storm drain system improvements shall be
designed in conformance with the applicable
country Storm Drainage Design Standards.
Developers within the campus shall design
projects to optimize run-off capture and treatment
by incorporating features such as bioswales,
infiltration areas, vegetated filter strips, porous
paving and rain gardens that enhance storm water
infiltration and reduce peak run-off that would be
interconnected with the rain water harvesting
system in the campus.
In addition, the university shall explore the
potential to implement a ‘green’ streets program
that incorporates storm water management
features in the design of streetscape, walkways
and pathways in order to improve the quality of
storm water runoff that enters the campus and
prevent the possible flooding in the area.
