Principle 2: Stepwise approach
Principle 3: Community based
solutions for local flooding
Principle 4: Manage groundwater
extraction to reduce subsidence
Principle 5: reduce urban heat island
effect
Principle 6: Reduce salt intrusion
Testing Strategy on
Pilot Study Areas
District 4
Highly urbanized area
with existing port
planned for relocation
towards the sea
