Factsheet: Review of the application of green infrastructure for water management in Bogor

Bogor is experiencing rapid urbanisation and population growth which is placing pressure on the environment and its water resources. Significant water pollution, declining groundwater, dry season water shortages, lack of potable water supply, shrinking green and blue open space, untreated wastewater discharges, and increased flood risk, are all critical challenges faced by the city.Given that water is central to the economic productivity and liveability of a city, it is imperative that Bogor develops a new strategic action plan to address these challenges particularly at this critical time when it is on the verge of development.Many of the challenges faced by other urbanised cities in Indonesia can be avoided if a new approach for urban planning and design is incorporated.The adoption of integrated water management and water sensitive urban design, including green and other treatment technologies, can help Bogor address many of these challenges as part of this strategic action plan.

茂物市正经历快速城市化与人口增长，给当地环境与水资源带来沉重压力。严重水污染、地下水水位下降、旱季水资源短缺、饮用水供应不足、蓝绿开放空间缩减、未经处理的废水直排以及洪水风险上升，均是这座城市面临的严峻挑战。鉴于水资源是城市经济产出与宜居性的核心要素，茂物市亟需制定全新战略行动计划以应对上述挑战——尤其是在其即将迎来大规模开发的关键时期。若采用新型城市规划设计路径，印尼其他已城市化城市所面临的诸多挑战本可规避。将综合水资源管理（integrated water management）与水敏感城市设计（water sensitive urban design），包括绿色处理技术在内的各类水处理技术，纳入本次战略行动计划，可助力茂物市解决诸多上述挑战。
