New Water Ways Final Seminar
New water in old cities – what new possibilities can research give us?
Globally many cities observe an increasing trend of extreme rainfall episodes and flooding of streets and buildings. How can they adapt to avoid costly damages? How can stormwater management be organized and financed and how can we get citizens on board?
Join our seminar on Monday 20.9. from 12-15.30!
The seminar is free of charge, but you have to register here to get a streaming-link.
