Finnish project to identify solutions for flooding in cities

New generation of water-permeable surfacing materials to be developedExtreme weather conditions will occur more often in the future because of climate change. In Northern Europe, this means an increasing trend of heavy rainfall, particularly during the autumn and winter months. Flooding causes problems in dense urban environments where the water often cannot penetrate into the ground and rainwater collection systems lack the capacity for large volumes of water. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is leading a project that is seeking to identify flood water management solutions suitable
