How Turning New York Green Be A Solution To Urban Flooding

- New York is the most populated city in the United States. With a population of over 8.8 million people, its twice the population of Los Angeles which is the 2nd most populated city in the USA. New York City comprises of 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean in a naturally sheltered, deep water harbor. Which made it an attractive location to the first Dutch colonizers who named the southern tip of present day Manhattan Island, New Amsterdam in 1626 it quickly became an important trading post to ship beaver fur back to Europe.
Just 38 years later the city came to be known by its present day name New York after the British conquered the Dutch colony in 1664 and over the following centuries the population of New York sky rocketed due to industrialization with steamships and cheap transportation by rail and canal bringing more people to the port. During the mid 1800s New York handled more goods and people than all the other American ports combined. By 1860, New York was by far the biggest and most important city in the United States and still is today and it has become 2nd richest city on earth. Making it one of the most iconic cities in the world, attracting over 66 million tourists each year.
However the geography of New York city has posed challenges for the continuously rising population, since much of it is built on the three islands of Manhattan, Staten Island, and western Long Island, making available land for development scarce which has encouraged high density living. As a result architectural innovations allowed for New York city to expand upwards with some of the first ever skyscrapers being built here. Despite this housing shortages and challenges still plague the city today, especially with regards to climate adaption.
The ever expanding urban environment of impermeable concrete surfaces has made New York venerable to severe flooding. New York city has always received plentiful rainfall especially during the Atlantic hurricane season which lasts from June through November. However severe flooding was said to be rare, once every 500 years but has now become a more regular occurrence. Since the 2000s tidal flooding has increased by 247% in some areas of New York, putting 431,000 people at risk. Flooding threatens human lives and damages property as well as disrupting the city, making some roads unusable and shutting down parts of the subway system. However New York City is now investing billions of dollars to turn this around.
In this video we will show you how new innovations in green infrastructure are turning the New York city scape into a sponge, saving the city billions of dollars whilst turning the city into a green oasis.

What do you think? Do other cities facing similar issues with flooding need these natural based innovations? Let us know in the comments below and if you agree smash the like 👍 😃 🙂
Yes, they need mitigation in the cities as well as upstream. Love this channel.
One of the great points about bioswales is they're reduce water pollution as well.
In my city there is an avenue that was built in the bed of a river that dried decades ago. Whenever there is semi-heavy rainfall it floods. This would be an interesting solution to try.
Yes of course they do. the wat that is soaked into the ground replenished the ground water, which in turn makes it easier for trees and bushes. Even animals have access to water. In the forests and bushland areas this ground water , keeps the bushland damp preventing forest fires. so yes saving water this way is very helpful in so many ways.
You can't not love a program that adds more green spaces while shielding the city from flooding. Good job New York!
The only thing historically green about NYC is Central Park. This was needed just for psychological health IMO.
Houston does this as well
@@jeromec7595 Really? To what degree?
@@Mrbfgray Agreed. Greenery means relaxation and so well being as well. It surely has a positive impact on mental health when fighting daily urban/work stress.
Yeah if only they are maintained. Currently they are not and therefore cause more drain blockages and street flooding.
Here on Long Island, we suffer from flooding due heavy spring and fall storms. The local townships should encourage homeowners to rip up the lawns and plant native grasses/flowers along the “Hell Strips” between the side walks and streets. It would go along in stemming the overflow from driveways and hard surfaces.
Brad lancaste's urban rainwater harvesting video talks about how to do that well.
th-cam.com/video/mQq7YsgAWOY/w-d-xo.html
Honestly they don't necessarily need to rip up lawns but instead banning biocides and 'chemical' fertilizers as well as harvesting roof runoff into bioswales will keep the ground receptive to rainwater and reduce flooding...
long island is too suburban. Get rid of the single family only zoning
@@greenmachine5600
That's not going to do much to curb flooding, in fact it'd likely contribute under current planning paradigms.
This is the kind of content that should be getting viewership: positive, joyous and hopeful, keep up the good work!
Agree
This also helps in lowering the Heat Island dynamic and has a calming effect to makes people fell better about where they live and work.
Bio swales should be incorporated with safe, protected bike lanes and trails.
Increase spaces for walking, hiking, cycling and using skate boards.
As well as food trees.
💯
It should be added that the shade a ND general cooling effects reduces pavement wear as well.
We really need better freight and passenger rail to support localized walking and hiking, and to increase accessibility for poor,, disabled and the elderly, and reduce reliance on autos.
This is so great!!! Having lived here for just about 30 yrs, I can attest to the fact that NYC is so much Greener than it's been in ages. So much more to do, but all these efforts are so necessary! Thanks for this lovely film.
😊🌳💚
I agree
I wish my city had storm gardens and bioswales. We just had a huge storm and now everything is flooded.
Maybe you can get in contact with city officials, local council or other groups who can help suggest these natural based solutions
Brad Lancaster has a video on urban water harvesting where he talks about his efforts that eventually got the city to change laws.
His city is even providing $3000 towards cisterns to assist in the efforts.
He further explains some aspects of optimal rainwater absorption. He lives in a desert and is well acquainted with drought, heat and flood cycles. Even if you live in Kentucky or Missouri his advice can be helpful.
These certainly have lots of benefits. Such as reducing homeown landscaping water bills and reducing the need to expand/increase storm water drainage systems...
Are rain gardens and bioswales one and the same thing?
I live in Houston and this is BADLY needed. Hurricane Harvey is one of the examples of how awful flooding is here. Houston has concrete and asphalt everywhere (highways, parking lots, etc.) which makes the situation so much worse.
Your videos are a much needed reminder of the Human spirit to heal when hands are directed towards the right goals. If we are to thrive we must find harmony again with our world and reclaim our lost knowledge.
🙏 definately need more harmony between man and nature
The reason why we are experiencing more flooding recently is because the sewer grates are blocked up with debris. The city has not been cleaning since the start of the pandemic. Street sweeping is a hit or miss because no one moves their cars. We have a whole bunch of yuppies who moved into the surrounding areas of the city and don't believe in moving their cars for street sweeping. If the streets can't be clean then everything backs into the sewer. It used to be cleaned every year but they don't do it anymore. The sanitation dept needs to step up with their work and start giving tickets in order to clean the streets. That is always why we are having a huge rat infestation too.
but should storm water run off go straight into the sewage system? seems like a waste of fresh water aswell.
@@LeafofLifeWorld We don't have a system in place like Tokyo to collect water under the city. NYC gets it's fresh water from mountain run offs and rain in reservoirs/basin in the mountain regions. Until, we start treating rain runoffs as a source of usable water, it has to go thru the sewer system.
I'm lucky that I live in one of the greenest cities in the UK. We do have older areas of the city which were industrial towns/villages before the area was incorporated and they're mostly concrete and heavily built up, it's these area which flood consistently in heavy rains. Everywhere else in the city, built in the 70s and 80s, we have masses of green open space, these areas never flood.
Some people want to pretend that it's some kind of mystery but it's really pretty simple. Every inch of land that we concrete or asphalt over is adding to the flooding. It's time to strip this away and return land to natural use. We do not need billions of square miles of paths and roads and parking lots. We need to start minimizing our physical footprint on the land and start giving it back to the environment we should be living within, not trying to overpower.
Could you make a video about the environmental projects in São Paulo, more than 3 billion reais were invested to clean up the Pinheiros River, a postcard of the city, and they are building a Linear park on the banks like a green breath in the middle of the city. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
We need Lula to protect the Amazon!
@@grimaffiliations3671 In fact, we need the help of the whole world because a lot of wood and minerals from the Amazon will end up illegally in the hands of consumers in developed countries. We have to not only inspect and ban the illegal extraction such as cutting off the purchase, sale and production of items with a dubious source of origin, it was recently discovered that illegal gold extracted from the Amazon was sold to large mining companies technology market, only now after the scandal that they decided to speak out and cut the purchase of this material.Understand me? it doesn't just depend on incompetent politicians in my country but on a great global inspection action, looking at what is consumed and what its actual origin is.
It seems like the river clean up in São Paulo is still in progress, I'm looking forward to see how it develops and hopefully cover the story soon. Thank you for your suggestion.

The change is SP is beautiful! I would love to see a video on what they did.
Love the message behind this. Let equally work together to have our city leaders do the same thing New York is doing
New Earth finally coming true🤩🙆🏽♀️
And coming through 🥳 🎊 🎉 🍺
I'm exited
It is not a problem how high the population is New York, the problem is how the people will populate the city with green oasis like Singapore! I think that the leaders will give the number one focus to lead his people to make all green before its too late to become a dry dessert. Good Luck
NY Congress's question to people who complain about the flooding: "Why don't the people just move?"
I doubt that a flowerbed every 100 yards is really making a difference. But more greenery is always welcome.
I can speak to the fact other cities are putting them in a much greater density.
You're right. Every 3 yards is a much better measure.
Very optimistic viddy. 👍
We really need ways to store the water once a flood comes in, natural storage and also artificial, which then puts that water back underground
New York should just make more smaller parks and let rent go to 10k a month.
Central Park is not the largest urban park in the world (maybe it was when it was made), it's not even close. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is larger and only ranks #164.
Ikr? Such a dumb statement
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Awesome... Full watched. Thanks Have a happy day!
another big thing you can do it like... make a canal like in Amsterdam ? just turn one street into a canal and you have solved a LOT of problems
I've noticed it to🌎🌎I remember taking a walk today it was much cleaner also there was more beautiful plants and the air felt way cleaner for some reason, thanks so much for this video
This wont just be Flooding protection but it will also cool down the city naturally. Such design is really important in old and new development
The diagram at 6:32 is problematic in that they can lose much of their organic matter with the outflows.
Do a lot more of this but include food-producing trees to reduce the fresh food deserts of NYC. They also need to work higher in the landscape up the watershed away from NYC.
The bioswales do add a lot of beauty.
Bet this also stops a lot of homeless camping near rich 'affected most by floodwaters' 😉 neighborhoods
I, too, would have said these places need to include more food plants. However, I suppose that is being avoided largely because the authorities don't want the homeless people you mention attracted to such swales, camping there while they wait for fruit to ripen, thus trampling over other plants in their wake.
Also, fruit ripening on unreachable branches will fall on pavements and roads, thus creating a slip hazard, and making it likely that the authorities would be sued for millions by someone who merely bruises their knee, and then claims for anxiety problems, headaches and personality disorders into the mix.
So, maybe flowering trees and shrubs are the better choice, because people are more likely to leave them alone.
However, all cities, the world over, could do with introducing a lot more in the way of city farms.
Get residents rolling up their sleeves and growing their own with a couple of city farm staff on hand to give advice, demonstrate techniques, lend tools.
In my local town, they do have planters that contain a selection of vegetables - which can be harvested by locals if they are in need.
It's stopping the kids from wrecking them and deterring the 20-30 somethings from chucking cigarette butts, broken bottles and drink cans in them which are the major issues. I don't know what it is, but nice things seem to invoke destructive feelings in some people, like they want to live in a permanent state of grot.
NYC green infrasture seem to be testing the bioswales and doing this their own way a little bit. I've seen them actually cleaning out the organic matter in some videos because it clogs the drainage area, as you said they are loosing the organic matter, they also have an issue with people trashing the swales and then they are also cleaned out. Both instances could be solved with better education, from permaculture expects with the NYC green infrasture team and also education to the general public, more signs on the bioswales to inform people why they are there.
@@LeafofLifeWorld
Plant sticker bushes in the swales that get trashed...
@@b_uppy exactly
@@LeafofLifeWorld I had no idea those were bioswales and related to water control. I have seen them many times on my visits to NYC, there are lots of them on the Upper West Side. I just thought is was a way to pretty up the city. NYC has come a long way in the last 25 years.
Although large, Central park is most certainly not the largest urban park in the world. In fact, Golden Gate park in SF is larger than Central park.
Central Park is not the largest urban park. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is 20% (around 179 acres) larger than Central Park
thank you, correction we should have said it was one of the largest urban parks, not the largest park. I'm not sure if the San Francisco's park is the largest though, since every city seems to be in competition to build a new largest urban park, and an internet search will give you conflicting results also.
@@LeafofLifeWorld Yeah, I don't think GG Park is THE largest I just know it's larger than Central Park.
Go bless Mother Nature
Got a long way to go but ya gotta start somewhere. Now if the rest of the world would just join in we may have a chance :)
Always happy to see beavers in the salt marshes between Randall’s Island and the Bronx. 🦫😍
Thats amazing 👏 😍 🙌
Amazing! I thought they were strictly freshwater creatures
@@edwardmiessner6502 So did I. 🤔 Those waterways are an estuary, the waters are blended, sea water comes up with the flood from NY Harbor, freshwater flows down from the Hudson with the ebb. None of New York’s “rivers” are truly rivers. 😄 The Hudson is a fjord, the Harlem is a canal, and the East River is an estuary. Beavers navigate across all of it.
Good on you NewYork keep planting making gardens ,trees encourage beavers make it green.!
You are right, they need to keep planting and doing more!
You are right, they need to keep planting and doing more!
Let's use ecosia 👍🌱🌲🌱🌳
I ❤️ NY
Columbia, SC has a flooding problem every time there is a heavy rainstorm.
you wouldn't need all of those non-permeable concrete roads if you didn't have cars
I actually really like this! They need to do this in LA!!
They really do. They are super car-dependent and as well as being too centralized.
This could reduce water bills, power bills (a lot of electricity is used for watering), brownouts, pavement wear, crime, fire danger, flooding, centralization, etc.
Some times the most efficient and effective solutions are the simplest ones
Correction: Griffith Park dwarfs central Park as the largest urban park.
Awesome post!
Good to see the computer from Resident Evil is still getting work.
yes, its turning into a green oasis, and now we even have people fertilizing it for free every day...
Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is bigger than Central Park
I also feel like there’s much bigger parks in other cities.
They need to do this in Newark NJ
I love your videos also because of your voice
It's all about living in balance with nature...
I haven’t watched the video yet but my guess is through diversity 🤗
Thank fuck this is hopefully real. This is my dream to see cities change this way.
Theres no way of stopping nature
When will we ever learn?
Fantabulous video🙌
I can tell you put a lot of hard work into it🙇♀️
Much praise and appreciation 🤙
Thank you so much 😁
Good stuff
So inspiring! Is there anything similar about Finland or the UK (with North of England flooding)?
I don't know of much going on here in the UK regarding flood defences. Before COP26 summit, here was word about planting 300,000km of hedgerows, but I didn't find anything really helpful to promote that online.
I live quite close to a town that now sees flooding quite regularly (instead of it being a very occasional matter), and the local council has done nothing about it... I suppose building a swimming pool so that everyone can at least learn to swim doesn't count as positive action in the right direction, does it?
Have you contacted the local council, it might be worth mentioning bioswales?
Rotherham are doing quite a bit including exposing a section of river that they covered over decades ago to make parkland.
How do green walls make the city more spongey? Not criticising, genuinely curious.
A porous natural area hold thousands of gallons of water. Even water that runs off is slowed by hours or days, which means that stormwater drains aren’t as likely to reach capacity. The water that doesn’t run off is absorbed by plants and evaporates back into the air which has a cooling effect.
Excellent high level skim.
Yes more green everywhere thanks.
I can't seem to find new videos for this channel?
This is what makes New York New York New York is not called a super City for no reason it rises to the challenge as a New Yorker I can't wait to see what the future brings.
Good, god blessed you guys, and I do hope you solved your flood problems!!! Blessings from Cancun, México.
what an innovative idea, well done nyc
Note: LOS ANGELES COUNTY population is 9.83 million humans.
So cool
Who would have thought that if you covered vast areas in concrete, you would block the absorption of rain by the earth?
This is a great idea !
Good job🇪🇺💪🌱📈🍲🇺🇸
As with everything else in the city they are not maintained. They just get filled up to overflow with garbage. When it rains it causes more drain blockages and street flooding.
Good spot for those bus loads to pitch a tent..change your stance or feel the wraith....buses by the thousands every day
Areas with floods could use this
Green spaces. We need more of them
What a coincidence. Or governor looks like a beaver.
Not to be argumentative, but Leakin Park in Baltimore is actually larger than New York's Central Park. Sure, bodies are dumped in there but it IS larger than Central Park.
Never the less, I agree that Bioswales are an excellent step in the right direction, and I wish we had more of them in Baltimore.
thank you, correction we should have said it was one of the largest urban parks, not the largest park. I'm not sure if the Baltimore's park is the largest though, since every city seems to be in competition to build a new largest urban park, and an internet search will give you conflicting results also.
They did this in my city but failed to maintain it. They are now choked with cattails.
Do a lot more of that with food producing trees and I'd be impressed. This greatly beautified NYC,as well as reduce it's food deserts where its lacking fresh food is a problem. The need to work high in the land scape as well.
Look up Walter Jehne's solution that has a lot more benefits including durable, decentralizing resources while solving a lot of change uses in an enhanced natural way. First step is rainwater harvesting earthworks to support plant life; reduce fire-, flooding- impacts; rehydrate soils and recharge water tables and aquifers. In cities curb cuts and planted bioswales could be employed to reduce water and air pollutions pollution; flooding; increasing drought resistence; reducing soil loss;etc while reducing landscape watering fees and increasing food production and diversity in food deserts areas; reduce heat islands; increase pavement life; add beauty; etc at a reduced cost compared to other methods,
Second step is regreening especially through diverse plantings of appropriate-site trees. This also helps with recharging soils and water tables through cooling the ground and decreasing evaporative loss; increasing water saturation, adding mulch, increasing diversity especially of fresh foods such as starch-, protein-, and/or oil-rich nut trees, fruits, veggies, leafy greens, beverages, wood products; wood alcohol, etc; carbon sequestration; cooling livestock, wildlife and people; add beauty; protect soils; protect livelihoods; reduce heat island effects; further enhanced reductions in air and water pollution; break up hardpan and increase water table recharge that way; etc.
Third method is through soil restoration/regeneration which we increase soil carbon and soil fertility though healthy soil biota by reducing chemical inputs and opting instead to increase fertility through diverse plantings, especially trees in Savannah-type set ups; these enhance mycelium growth, further adding flood and drought resistence; reduce the need for irrigation and related costs; add farmer resilience, increase food production, enhance further water sequestration, etc.
We need meaningful, decentralizing solutions that enhance the wealth of those at the bottom instead of enhancing reduced-returns-on-investment with bureaucracy and loss of privacy.
Proposals like carbon taxes harms those at the bottom than changing the bad habits of those at the top yet we keep hearing these ridiculous types of solutions. Same could be said for high tech 'eco solutions' which merely harm the poorest by centralizing wealth and punishing the poor financially at a greater portion rather than the rich...
Look at all the shows that add to the problems than add solutions, call them out and get them to add durable cheap solutions such as shown above. Look at at all the wasteful practices when they remodel houses for the rich and famous. They destroy good, usable, building materials and never employ good water harvesting, regreening methods, while they use the most egregious land management practices.
Al Gore (who predicted rising seas) who created the ethanol debacle that great increased pollution just bought an oceanside mansion that is anything but eco...
Too many rats to plant fruit trees plus nobody wants to eat fruit grown in a nasty new york city gas fumes everywhere and rats climbing all over the fruit trees lol have common sense
@@bane8257
You'd do it in lower traffic neighborhoods. Rats are less interested in fruit and more interested in wheat products. Get some knowledge before commenting
And rats exist outside of cities as well. You always need to wash fruit, btw...
😁😁😁
Food forests, fruit trees, and vegetable gardens are kind of a gimmick in temperate climates like New York City. It is just too far north. An apple tree will produce fruit for maybe 3 weeks? And much of that will be inedible without intensive care including fungicides and other pesticides. Focus should remain on stormwater mitigation, urban heat island mitigation, air pollution reduction, mental health benefits. In Northern cities like NYC, Chicago, and Boston food production in your streetscape is a seasonal novelty, at best. Whereas Southern cities like Los Angeles and Houston could grow food more like 8 months per year, radically different climate.
@@talloak051
Shows your ignorance. When you grow monocultures on farms you need chemical life support for this artificial growing methods it's why there is the constant need for new innovations to support these poorly planned systems.
We have zero need for them when we have other plants around to help soil diversity through mycelium, carbon sequestration. You would have fresh apples for several weeks from one tree, fresh cherries from another before that, persimmons later. Other food-producing trees as well. Fresh flavorful fruit as opposed to tasteless stuff picked green several weeks away from ripening, erc.
@@talloak051 Exactly
Big 👍
Anyone else stop watching videos the moment you realize it's not a living host your listening to?
All it takes is to scroll through some of our back catalog and you will see you a gravely wrong.
How difficult is it to get financial help from the City to upgrade infrastructure to help build drains on private property to help return more water to the table sooner rather than later.
I don't know much about plants. Can someone let me know if the water having some oil or other contaminants in the water effect those plants?
Plants are good at filtering water and making it clean 🌿🍃💪
The pollutants gets stored in the bark of trees. Would think twice about tapping those trees for sap, however. Fruit and nuts are okay to eat but wash them first like you would fresh food from the grocery market...
great idea, but living in NYC you always see this filled to the brim with trash that the rain washed in.
Good job new york
This is going to backfire so bad.
Off topic but how is ny so lush and green? My daughter is there now and mentioned how it’s so luch KIND of like Hawaii. Is it the humidity or lots of rain?
those bioswalls are great idea ! but , how old are these ? i can see one issue ......... how about all the salt in winter ?
Just upgrade the drainage would you please?
its not just about drainage but helping out with biodiversity, which is in a major extinction right now and effects everyone. Bioswales also help reduce city temperatures in the summer and clean the air of pollution.
Silesian Park in Chorzow in Poland is twice as large as Central Park.
Awesome ! 😎🙏👍
los angeles could use some of that water
THEY SHOULD PLANT MORE EDIBLE PLANTS AND TREES IN THE GREEN WAYS.

Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment.
Humans are so destructive. We are destroying the very air, land and water resources we need to survive.
When humans are surrounded by nature there is less heat, less stress, less noise, cleaner air and a better quality of life.
Right, well according to the internet New York 'is' the richest city in the world... not the second?
they need to make streets 2 laned with a tree divide in the middle. i'd rather look at a tree than a bunch of windows. parking would have to be figured out, though and without ruining the backyards.

Every city needs to do this, make less roads , (traffic induced demand) & do what Seoul did & make a park from the old highway & plant trees to make the sun less hot on the pavement/sidewalks
They show the High Line multiple times , like that is gonna do anything about flooding. 😂 Maybe it’s serve as a big umbrella if you’re standing right under it, but that’s about it.
This is incredible! New York is setting a good example here. It's unfortunate that it's more out of necessity than not, but such strategies should be implemented all over the country where possible.
