Prevent flood damage and store water

31. May 2022
in News, Processing Technologies, Safety & Security, Trade Fairs, Water & Waste Water

Bäume spielen eine wesentliche Rolle für Klima und Lebensqualität in der Stadt. Doch Wasserknappheit macht die Anpflanzung immer schwieriger. Am IFAT-Messestand der Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) wird ein digitales System zur professionellen Feuchtigkeitsüberwachung von Straßenbäumen und Stadtbegrünung vorgestellt, das auch für aktuelle SmartCity-Konzepte optimiert wurde. Rechtliches: Die Verwendung dieses Bildes ist ausschließlich im Rahmen redaktioneller Berichterstattung mit inhaltlichen Bezügen zur Deutschen Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) erlaubt. Das Bild kann zu diesem Zweck vervielfältigt und kostenlos veröffentlicht werden. Alle angebotenen Bilder durch die Bilddatenbank piclease dürfen nicht für die Sozialen Medien verwendet werden. Die Bearbeitung des Bildes ist nicht erlaubt. Verkleinerungen oder Vergrößerungen, die der technischen Aufbereitung zum Zweck der optimalen Vervielfältigung dienen, sowie eine den zentralen Sinn des Bildes nicht entstellende Ausschnittwahl sind zulässig.

The con­se­quences of cli­mate change are already being felt dra­mat­i­cal­ly. This was impres­sive­ly demon­strat­ed by the floods in North Rhine-West­phalia and the Palati­nate region last sum­mer. One thing is clear: floods, inun­da­tions and heavy rain­fall are increas­ing in inten­si­ty and fre­quen­cy, as are droughts and hot spells. At the world’s lead­ing trade fair for envi­ron­men­tal tech­nolo­gies (IFAT) in Munich start­ing today (May 30), the Deutsche Bun­dess­tiftung Umwelt (DBU) will be pre­sent­ing how cities and munic­i­pal­i­ties can pre­pare them­selves for future cat­a­stro­phes and pro­mote water-con­scious devel­op­ment based on the prin­ci­ple of the so-called sponge city.

In 2021, the Ger­man Insur­ance Asso­ci­a­tion record­ed dam­ages of around 12.5 bil­lion euros to hous­es, house­hold goods, busi­ness­es and motor vehi­cles. Nat­ur­al haz­ards had nev­er caused so much dam­age in Ger­many since the sta­tis­tics began, he said.

“The cli­mate cri­sis makes adjust­ments and strate­gies for smart water man­age­ment in pop­u­lat­ed areas urgent­ly nec­es­sary. Pre­ven­tive flood pro­tec­tion must be thought togeth­er with water reten­tion in the city.”

- Alexan­der Bonde, DBU Sec­re­tary General

The basic idea: to pre­vent flood dam­age as well as to retain water, store it tem­porar­i­ly and release it again dur­ing heat and drought. Tomor­row, May 31, at the IFAT Forum from 3 to 3:45 p.m., the DBU, togeth­er with the Cen­ter for Cli­mate Adap­ta­tion of the Ger­man Insti­tute of Urban Affairs (difu) and the engi­neer­ing com­pa­ny Prof. Dr. Siek­er, will pro­vide insights into water-con­scious urban devel­op­ment based on the prin­ci­ple of the sponge city: a con­cept in which rain­wa­ter in cities is absorbed and stored local­ly instead of being dis­charged. The DBU booth at IFAT will also fea­ture the fol­low­ing best-prac­tice projects.

Tips for municipal flood prevention

To sup­port cities and munic­i­pal­i­ties in munic­i­pal flood pre­ven­tion, the DBU fund­ed difu’s “Plan­ners in Dia­log” project. Select­ed munic­i­pal­i­ties received con­crete tips on how they can intro­duce and opti­mize struc­tures, process­es and meth­ods to bet­ter pro­tect them­selves against dam­age caused by heavy rain. The DBU will be show­ing more about this togeth­er with the Cen­ter for Cli­mate Adap­ta­tion at the trade fair stand.

Water-conscious urban development

Instead of divert­ing rain­wa­ter from res­i­den­tial areas, increas­ing empha­sis is being placed on its infil­tra­tion, cap­ture and reten­tion. Experts from the engi­neer­ing com­pa­ny will be demon­strat­ing at the DBU stand at IFAT how the con­di­tion of the sewage net­work can be mon­i­tored using a sen­sor plat­form, for exam­ple, to pump out the water dur­ing heavy rain­fall and pre­vent water bod­ies from overflowing.

Green sponge city

In a res­i­den­tial neigh­bor­hood in Mannheim, waste­water from show­ers, bath­tubs and sink units that is only slight­ly con­t­a­m­i­nat­ed is col­lect­ed, treat­ed and reused as so-called ser­vice water for toi­let flush­ing and wash­ing machines. The sur­plus ser­vice water is to sup­ply the green spaces and trees around the res­i­den­tial com­plex with water on a per­ma­nent basis via an inte­grat­ed irri­ga­tion system.

SmartCity sensor for moisture monitoring

Trees play an essen­tial role in the cli­mate and qual­i­ty of life in the city. But water short­ages are mak­ing plant­i­ng them increas­ing­ly dif­fi­cult. Whether enough water is get­ting to the roots can be checked by a sys­tem for pro­fes­sion­al mois­ture mon­i­tor­ing of street trees and urban green­ery. It is opti­mized for cur­rent SmartC­i­ty con­cepts, which use dig­i­tal­iza­tion to make cities more effi­cient, sus­tain­able and progressive.

Tree roots and district heating lines

Anoth­er prob­lem: Tree roots and under­ground pipelines, for exam­ple for dis­trict heat­ing, can affect each oth­er due to the lim­it­ed space in the urban soil. At the DBU booth, vis­i­tors can find out what options are avail­able to pro­tect the pipeline trench from root ingrowth.
