Abstract

Street flooding in urban areas in Vietnam has always been a stress issue despite the municipal government’s investment in renovating and upgrading the drainage system. Until present, in order to evaluate and classify street flooding spots, the authorities have been applying the criteria specified in Document No. 338/BXD-KTQH issued by Ministry of Construction dated March 10, 2003. Despite their certain efficiency and value, the current criteria have not shown how the flooding spots affect traffic and not clarified how to measure or determine the parameters as a basis for flood classification, etc. Therefore, the Ministry of Construction has ordered the research team to develop a set of quantitative criteria for evaluating and classifying the street flooding spots in Vietnam. Accordingly, this paper presents the results of the study in contribution to more effective management of urban infrastructure.
