From Small Projects to Big Investments: Challenges and solutions in the context of rainwater

The talk will focus on the universal challenges of stormwater management faced by small projects as well as large construction projects. Common issues will be presented, such as the punctuated approach and lack of water balances, the risk of flooding and urban flooding versus mpgs, the overloading of GWO infrastructure and the impact of climate change. We will discuss practical methods and strategies that can be applied regardless of the scale of the development to effectively manage rainwater. The presentation will be based on an analysis of real cases and will provide tools and tips that can help everyone involved in construction projects.
