Webinar: Water Management – Quantity vs. Quality in Sponge Cities

The European Water Association (EWA) organizira (besplatni) webinar ‘Water Management: Quantity vs. Quality in Sponge Cities‘ koji će se održati u četvrtak 13. veljače 2025. godine od 11 do 12:30 h, na temu razvijanja koncepta “gradova spužvi” koji korištenjem rješenja temeljenih na prirodi (NBS) i integracijom zeleno-plave infrastrukture u sustav grada smanjuje rizik od sve češćih poplava i suša.

U nastavku navodimo kratku najavu webinara:

Sponge city addresses climate-related risk of urban flooding and drought. An ecosystem-based approach to adaptation is applied using Nature based solutions and integrating green-blue and grey infrastructures. The natural water cycle is to be strengthened by no longer draining rainwater into the sewage system as quickly as possible, but by (temporarily) storing it, allowing it to evaporate or seep away.”

2024 has seen numerous flooding and droughts events occurred across the continent. One of the common actions from cities to prevent such disaster is the development of blue-grey infrastructure, also known as Sponge-City infrastructure. The overriding goal of the sponge city is the sustainable use of water as a natural resource. Rainwater is to be retained “like a sponge” and released directly or indirectly via evaporation.[1]

This upcoming webinar, sponsored by ACO, will focus on “Water Management: Quantity vs. Quality in Sponge Cities” featuring presentations from a European Commission representative and a city official sharing their best practices and experiences. Following this, an Experts Roundtable / Impulse will bring together diverse perspectives from various fields.
