Online resources: Summary: Any increase in impervious ground surfaces due to urban growth tends to intensify stormwater management problems. Partial urban flooding can occur any time when the volume of stormwater exceeds local drainage capacity. Phnom Penh has suffered from urban flooding for more than a decade because of the limited capacity of the city’s drainage system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of proposed GI features for reducing stormwater runoff in central Phnom Penh. By using the Rational method, the peak discharge was analyzed and estimated for Tuol Svay Prei Pir, a central Phnom Penh neighborhood that experiences frequent flood problems.
