Abstract
Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, is one of the populous Mega Cities in the world. As the growth of urban population taking place at an exceptionally rapid rate, the city is unable to cope with changing situations due to their internal resource constraints and management limitations. In recent years Dhaka City is facing extensive water logging during the monsoon (May to October) as a common and regular problem of the city which corresponds water pollution, traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, solid waste disposal etc. Another main water related problem is the water scarcity during summer as continuous depletion rate of ground water table. This paper focuses on how the sponge city concept can help the city to overcome from this situation for better aspect
