Development of flexible adaptation concepts for future urban drainage systems
Abstract
One of the main goals of urban drainage infrastructure is urban flood and groundwater protection. Advanced decision making is necessary to find the best system combination of different stormwater facilities like sewers, treatment or infiiltration units. Key factors are e.g. age and condition of existing infrastructure, population density, sensivity of groundwater and surface waters, changes in land use and climate. Furthermore consequences of system transition over decades have to be considered. These could be technical, organisational of financial issues. The project consortium aims to develop sustainable solutions for urban stormwater management for small and medium communities. Operational, environmental, organisational, financial and societal points of view should lead to recommendations for a sustainable development on municipal level. The main result will be a guideline containing decision support tools for an integrated approach to get the best drainage system on a long-term basis.
