Rainwater management

» Rainwater infiltration in the street area (trough)

Groundwater recharge through infiltration via:

  • Infiltration systems (trough-trench systems)
  • Storage space in underground cisterns
  • Storage space on roof surfaces (“blue” roofs, “blue-green” roofs)
  • Storage space in modelled green spaces (hollows)

Improvement of the microclimate through:

  • Cooling by evaporation via biomass

 

Supplying street trees with water through:

  • Tree trench

Rainwater as a design element:

  • Rain garden
  • Temporary water play areas
