Arup helps HCM City build water management scheme

The global engineering, technique and consulting group, Arup will help HCM City build general scheme on water sources management and in dealing with impacts of climate changes, Mark Watts, Arup’s director said in the seminar on “urban life” that took place on May 12 in HCM City.

According to specialists of Arup, the impacts of climate change such as rising sea levels, longer dry seasons, heavy rains in summer, are causing urban flooding, salination of water sources and underground water depletion.

Therefore, Roger Alley, Arup’s senior manager, said that the city should consider building the raw water reservoir at the appropriate locations, as well as in two sides of the river, to store water during rain season, and drain water to reduce salty water supply during the dry season.
