Abstract

Numerous efforts have been undertaken by Asian countries to mitigate the adverse effects of urbanization on stormwater management. However, traditional stormwater systems have become overwhelmed due to extensive development, resulting in excessive runoff and frequent floods. As a result, it is crucial to urgently adopt sustainable stormwater management practices (SSMPs) to effectively control water quantity and quality. The goal of this study is to assess the viewpoints of stormwater practitioners regarding green roofs, rainwater harvesting systems (RHS), grass swales, rain garden/bioretention systems, and porous pavement using a SWOT analysis. This was accomplished by distributing questionnaires and evaluating previous studies. The survey showed that participants mostly agreed with the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats factors related to the chosen SSMPs. Overall, the respondents favoured the implementation of green roofs and grass swales. Further assessments were conducted on these practices in other aspects, confirming that green roofs are the most preferable SSMP for implementation in Asian countries.
