China builds sponge city for flood management

[@IntrovertedAbhi]

Wow kudos to China. Our country could never even think of doing such projects. They are way to busy on constructing statues & protecting cows.

[@amirmili7407]

Looooool

[@jp2022100]

I am curious to know more about it. This could be an innovative idea esp for countries in the tropical region. Even with conventional wisdom there r far better scope for improvement in conditions both in urban settings and interiors. But the thing lacking is master plan, implementation and resources!

[@shantanu1947]

Our politicians busy with Rafale and Ram Mandir 😕😡

[@Devaaa0007]

Shameless fellow u know ntg

[@dhamodaranannamalai4938]

Tamil Nadu government will make “Thermocol City” 😂

[@IntrovertedAbhi]

I hope that's sarcasm.

[@sweetysweet6719]

😆😆

[@sweetysweet6719]

@Weasel Can't Swim yes 🥲🙃

[@AfraidMonsters]

The porous bricks are absolutely genius and should be used for every road, pavement, sidewalks, etc. But greening up cities is also very important and good and also makes it prettier, so that's a HUGE step in the right direction too

[@davidbeattie4294]

This is clearly someone's attempt at humour. The capacity of a such a system is limited to dealing with normal non flood conditions. In a real flood situation these expensive gimmicks will contribute nothing and are likely to be washed away, contributing to the clean up mess.

This didn't age well.

Its good that the pavement designs are water absorbent. It anticipates the waters and absorbs it as well in order to prevent damages in infrastructure and roads.

[@applicabled3953]

Why not our politician thinks in this way... But they know very well how to fool citizens of india..

[@davidedelzingaro7524]

Nice progect, i hope to see them being built here in Italy 😎

[@vicky2rap]

Take out the sand for building construction and fill it up with sponges 🥶

[@ragibish]

Bangladesh need some this type project for river to trista.

[@kashifasiddiqui6600]

Nice initiative 👌

[@hhcdghjjgsdrt235]

China is so amazing and successful and look at India

[@CringeCoolKid]

Wow so thoughtful

[@kriti1490]

WOW.... Awesome Concept.

[@anupamchakraborty5467]

In Chennai now there is a initiative to build a sponge City for flood protection.

[@Shankar_Sena_MP]

Indian political party has religion for their election rally. They don't need sustainable development issue

[@nurarisyaamani7372]

[@karenkaren2369]

[@satyanweshiatma519]

Kolkata has been turned into London by Mamta Didi😉

[@nitinkumar4756]

after artificial moon.....

[@haf2567]

This was a wonderful concept but it is actually engineeringly floor and it has not achieved what it was intended to instead created more problems and did not serve any solution to China's flood problem regions where this technology was apply even got the worst outcome in the national flooding incidents of China.

[@TheHingshing]

It doesn’t work 😅

[@raktaborah983]

What's the status now as China is facing massive flood

[@Elfangorlanzhou]

Google Hebi City flooding 2020 and there are zero reports of flooding over there. Hebi City had no serious flooding in 2020 unlike the other Chinese cities so it's successful. xD bY 2030, 80 percent of China's cities will become sponge cities

[@michaelstevens3479]

Update 2020 it did not work.Update 2021 it is getting worse could we have a plan B?

[@Ilovecruise]

Well, considering the torrential rain with 200mm precipitation in just an hour. It is never seen before. Even 200mm precipitation in a day is already worse enough, but in an hour? I guess it worked but not enough

[@BallHeadFreak]

Yes because a project that started 2 years ago will stop a development of decades of urban planning in the vicinity of the city. This will take 15-20 years before most cities have enough sponge city development completed to actually stop those huge floods from happening.

[@atlwill3527]

Netherlands technology

[@xxxooo8400]

Apparently it didn’t work.

[@halhal-my4pt]

How?

[@montyandmaryv9340]

after the floods in 2020 well that didnt work

[@Elfangorlanzhou]

Lol, it's only been 2 years. It's still being rolled out to all cities but given the recent flooding, the gov see the floods as an opportunity to solve china's water crisis.

[@ypsingh92]

I think it is not economically viable option for country like India.

[@IntrovertedAbhi]

Nothing will be economically viable for us as long as we have politicians playing dirty politics, stupid priorities & blindfolded public.

[@blackbelt2000]

THIS VIDEO DID NOT AGE WELL. LOL
