In Bangkok, Thailand, torrential downpours during monsoon season lead to flooding in the Khlong Toei slum, which prompts many health and sanitation concerns. We identified the key infrastructural contributors to flooding and created a collection of geographical maps based on our interviews, observations, and measurements in order to convey to external stakeholders the susceptibility of certain areas within the slum. Additionally, we formulated a series of recommendations to improve the waste management practices and the drainage infrastructure within the slum.
