This proposal was prepared in response to the request for proposals on developing solutions for an engineering problem. In this proposal, the team has identified that the new university campus, SIT@Punggol has no plans to adopt an integrated approach which encompasses environmental and aesthetic aspects for stormwater management. As a result, SIT@Punggol is prone to flood and ponding which can bring about severe inconvenience and pose serious safety hazards to members of the university community as well as the public. The expectancy of persistent and intensified storms further increases the risks of flood and ponding.
In the interest of preventing flood and ponding issues in SIT@Punggol, the team’s proposal is to implement ABC Waters which consist of vegetated swales and bioretention swales in SIT@Punggol. The proposal when implemented, reduces flood and ponding risks, enhances surrounding aesthetics, minimises water pollution and provides educational value. Challenges of the proposal include mosquito control and maintenance. Both primary and secondary research such as survey questionnaires and publications were used to support the team’s proposal and has been included.
