​Laboratory for Intelligent Resilient Water Environment Research , LIRWER

The main mission of the LIRWER laboratory is twofold : first, to engage in leading-edge, basic and applied research studies on urban water management such as intelligent stormwater management; watershed and eco-system protection and restoration, and resilient water infrastructure under global climate change scenarios, and second, to promote to the public the new concepts of urban water management such as low impact development (LID) / green storm infrastructure (GSI); sponge city construction, and the application of water resources internet of things (IoT).  
​Building a 4S resilient city that is safe, strong, smart and sustainable. 
​
  • Safe :
          Provide a safe urban water environment by using LID/GI practices such as storage-and infiltration-type of facilities to help
​          reduce urban flooding risks and to remove pollutants in stormwater runoff.
  •  Strong :
          Protect the integrity and enhance the durability of urban stormwater infrastructures by studying and testing new materials
          and innovative devices.
      • Smart :
                Apply the IoT system to achieve the goal of a smart urban water management and an enhanced disaster prevention system.
      • Sustainable :
               Promote a city planning strategy that considers the elements of landscape, ecology and recreation, which will lead to a sustainable
               urban development.
