摘要：The strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats SWOT analysis method is applied to assess the feasibility of traditional stormwater management and low impact development LID in *** results show that traditional stormwater management has many disadvantages *** stormwater collection and discharge or flooding peak-flow regulation is taken into consideration but lack of many important functions such as on-site infiltration non-point pollution control ecological treatment *** as a new stormwater management concept the LID system has many advantages *** can not only control rainwater quantity but also effectively prevent non-point pollution. Moreover LID is easy for implementation and cost effective and operation and management can also be done *** has attracted more and more attention from governmental authorities at different levels and the majority of practitioners.
