Purpose and goal
The aim of the project is to analyse and develop suggestions on how to use urban storm water as a resource. This includes the storm water itself, the energy potential, but also the sediment that accumulates in the urban drainage network and how it can be managed and used as a resource in a safe way. Goals: - To make a system analysis of storm water as a resource in broad collaboration - Graphically illustrate the desired future situation - Suggestions for next steps
Expected effects and result
The result will be suggestions for continuation projects in areas where urban storm water can be a resource. This includes the storm water itself, energy potential, but also the sediment that accumulates in the urban drainage network and how it can be managed and used as a resource in a safe way. The effect is that storm water can contribute to both sustainable innovative solutions that strengthen society´s resilience and more to sustainable urban environments.
Planned approach and implementation
The project will perform a series of open workshops to develop a vision, make system analyses, and forecast future scenarios with the aim of proposing activities necessary to achieve system change and new innovative solutions.
