Aquafin -Make stormwater runoff from service buildings more sustainable

There are also many service buildings within Aquafin's patrimony. With this project, we want to ensure that whenever one of our service buildings is up for renovation, the water management is critically reviewed and a cost-benefit analysis is carried out to consider whether it is opportune to implement green and blue measures such as wadis, infiltration basins, or infiltration trenches to locally infiltrate runoff rainwater.

About the project

The objective is to achieve better water management, reduce soil sealing and strengthen biodiversity by allowing for rainwater to infiltrate into the soil as much as possible so that it is no longer discharged. The wadi or buffer to be created to this end, will also be designed in a biodiverse way.

How are the criteria of the objective met?

We are committed to better water management that allows for rainwater to infiltrate into the soil to the maximum extent, instead of being discharged. The wadi or buffer to be created to this end, will also be biodiverse.

More green and blue, less grey.

What are the benefits of the project?

As with the solar panels, we are involving many technical people in this story. The good cooperation and dialogue with the technical people ensures that there is also more understanding among them about this new approach. We also note that greater awareness has emerged when talking about the importance of biodiversity and water management.
