What does sponge city mean?

Sponge city is a new generation of urban stormwater management concept. It refers to the city's good "resilience" in adapting to environmental changes and responding to natural disasters caused by rainwater. It can also be called "water Resilient Cities”. The internationally accepted term is “Low Impact Development Stormwater System Construction”. When it rains, it absorbs, stores, seeps, and purifies water, and "releases" the stored water for use when needed.
