| Abstract |
With the rapid industrialization and increase in population, more and more people are moving to live in cities. This urbanization trend is resulting in increased construction and development activities which associates with escalation of impervious surface. This in turn causes problems like groundwater depletion, higher flood peaks, and increased rate of soil loss from the watershed. Watershed management projects are being implemented around the globe concerning with the application of soil and water resources conservation practices. It is desirable that an entire watershed be evaluated based on soil and water conservation practices applied. In this study, water management categories of green building rating systems (GBRS) of South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines were discussed. The water management practices rating criteria of G-SEED (South Korea), BERDE (Philippines), and EEWH (Taiwan) were explored and compared. The insights of this study are expected to be projected to establish a comprehensive rating system for the evaluation of watersheds. The quantification of watershed management practices will help future planners to identify areas of potential water-related risks and counter the hazards more effectively. |
