Episode Details

Severe flooding in Bangkok has forced thousands from their homes and overwhelmed drainage systems, as heavy rain also causes deadly impacts in Nepal, India and the United States. Poh Kok Ing and Hairianto Diman speak to Ang Geck Geck, Singaporean in Bangkok, and Tim Fletcher, Professor of Urban Ecohydrology, University of Melbourne, to examine why cities are vulnerable to intense downpours and how better drainage, green infrastructure and urban planning can reduce flood risk.
