RainwaterInfraStructureAdaptation - RISA
Climate change will also affect life in Hamburg in the future. The increasing risk of hot and dry periods on the one hand and heavy rain on the other requires responsible use of rainwater. In order to avoid damage and at the same time make optimal use of water as a resource, the rainwater that falls in Hamburg is to be stored, evaporated and seeped away on site as far as possible according to the principle of the sponge city. As much water as possible should be fed into the natural cycle. This relieves the storm drains, reduces flooding and better protects our infrastructure and water bodies.
