Study on Sustainable Stormwater Management Policies from the International Perspective: The Comparison of the US, the UK and China

Wei Yike, Chen Qianhu

Keywords: Stormwater Policy; Sustainable Management; Economic Incentives; Public Participation; Comparative Study of China, The US and The UK

Abstract:

Effective management and rational utilization of stormwater resources are important measures to alleviate the negative impact of urbanization and achieve the goal of sustainable development. After years of exploration and practices in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, their stormwater management policies have tended to be improved and have achieved initial results. Based on a brief review of the development of stormwater management at domestic and abroad since the 19th century, this paper makes a comparative analysis of the characteristics and differences of stormwater management in the United States, the United Kingdom and China. It also summarizes the experience of the developed countries in terms of policies and regulations, management mechanism, economic incentives and public participation, as well as the current shortcomings in China. Based on the results, this paper puts forward the proposal of establishing a modern stormwater management system with Chinese characteristics. The policy recommendations of this paper would provide decision support for the construction of scientific urban water environment governance model and benign water cycle system.
