Adaptation to Water: A Study on Bamboo Landscape System with Low Impact Development
Publication: International Low Impact Development Conference China 2016: LID Applications in Sponge City Projects
ABSTRACT
Low impact development (LID), as a strategy to manage urban stormwater and flood management, has brought opportunities to suitable bamboo species against the background of accelerated urbanization. In order to establish a landscape system based on bamboos’ adaptation to environmental stress and upgraded by bamboos’ landscape and eco-environmental effect, this study, based on the existing stormwater and flood management in existence, looks into the possibility that suitable species and integration of bamboos grown in Yangtze River Delta in LID practices with three perspectives of consideration: adaptability to environmental stress, landscape effect, and eco-environmental effect. This system is able to improve LID facilities not only in water resources utilization and flood control but in artistic effect and ecological efficiency, so as to shed light on LID practice and popularization.
