主动美丽清洁 (ABC) 水域计划于 2006 年实施，作为新加坡雨水管理战略的一部分，反映了该国通过采用低影响发展 (LID) 意识形态和实践向水敏感型城市化迈进。这是热带地区第一个整体性、综合性的 LID 计划，并有望扩展到其他热带城市。本文全面总结了目标、LID 实践（ABC 设计特点）和设计考虑因素以及几个监测点的结果，包括一个人工湿地、两个雨水花园、绿色屋顶和三个运河修复项目。我们根据这些初步结果评估 ABC Waters 计划，并考虑其实现水文和水质修复目标的挑战、问题和研究需求。到目前为止，经过评估的 ABC 设计功能在去除颗粒物方面表现良好。去除养分的性能较差。 10 年内完成了 60 多个项目，项目后监测和评估是必要的，也是对当地学术机构正在进行的实验室和建模研究项目的补充。
The Active Beautiful Clean (ABC) Waters Program was implemented in 2006 as part of Singapore’s stormwater management strategy and reflects the country’s move towards Water Sensitive Urbanism through the adoption of Low-Impact Development (LID) ideology and practices. It is the first holistic and comprehensive LID program in the tropics and holds promise for extension to other tropical cities. This paper presents a comprehensive summary of the goals, LID practices (ABC design features) and design considerations as well as results of several monitored sites, including a constructed wetland, two rain gardens, green roofs and three canal restoration projects. We evaluate the ABC Waters Program based on these initial results and consider the challenges, issues and the research needs for it to meet its hydrological and water quality remediation goals. So far, the ABC design features evaluated perform well in removing particulates. Performance in nutrient removal is poor. With over 60 projects completed within 10 years, post-project monitoring and evaluation is necessary and complements on-going laboratory and modelling research projects conducted by local academic institutions.
