How does it contribute to the objective?
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?
Criteria :
Using nature/natural processes to support biodiversity to meet the challenges of climate change, water management (including flood management).
Maintenance criterion:
As good water management is one of our key activities, operations and asset management colleagues regularly monitor the functioning of the infrastructure and make adjustments as necessary.
How :
We are betting on better water management where rainwater will be able to infiltrate as much as possible into the soil and will no longer be drained, the wadi or buffer to be created will also be biodiverse.
More blue and green and 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.
