Community Classroom on Urban Flood Preparedness and Nature-based Stormwater Management
Faculty of Engineering at Kamphaeng Saen , Kamphaeng Saen Campus
Details
The project co-developed a field curriculum with municipalities and nearby schools to reduce urban flood vulnerability by blending engineering know-how with nature-based solutions—rain gardens, swales, and permeable pavements. Five modules covered risk mapping, ponding hotspot assessment, small rain-garden design, and low-cost rain gauge installation, with community data streamed to dashboards for timely preparedness and scheduling of maintenance activities.
Hands-on builds were completed at eight schools and four community nodes, coached by students and volunteer engineers. Demonstration sites totalled 1,200 m² of rain gardens and swales, measurably attenuating stormwater and cutting short-term ponding. Maintenance guides and per-unit cost sheets were produced to enable scaling, supported by visual explainers that reduced knowledge barriers and upkeep labor.
Post-course, communities formed rain/flood watch teams and adopted pre-storm drain-cleaning calendars. In the subsequent wet season, average ponding duration fell by 37% and repeat flooding complaints dropped significantly. The effort aligns with SDG 11 and strengthens learning and participation consistent with 2024 indicators (34, 96).
