Social and ecological systems are tightly linked in urban environments. Research in several Asian cities has illustrated the coupled nature of the systems, and the surprises that this coupling can have in store, especially with regard to one of the most important metabolic flows, water.
This project, which builds on SEI work in Bangalore, India, evaluates two cities with broadly similar social and infrastructural relationships to water, but very different biophysical settings: Bangalore and Bangkok, Thailand.
The project also extends the Bangalore metabolic framework to 71 other Indian cities, and aims to foster a cross-fertilization of policy ideas.
Media coverage / When floods devastated Bangkok more than a decade ago, Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom became determined to help her sinking hometown.
Perspective / Improving urban water systems' efficiency can help address the problem of excessive groundwater use in Southeast Asia.
Journal article / This study seeks to fill in some gaps in groundwater data in India in an effort to measure how natural and man-made factors affect water supply levels.
