Datainfrastructure for urban infiltration and local rainwater drainage for climate adaptation and sustainable development of urban areas

Abstract

How can a combined exhibition of facilities for Local Rainwater Drainage (in Danish: LAR) improve communication and the maintenance of areas around established LAR facilities and help with new innovative solutions for climate protection and sustainable development? SDFI, City of Aarhus and Aarhus Vand (water utility) have investigated the need for this and, based on this, developed a prototype for displaying LAR data, which can be seen at SDFI Labs. The article tells about the project, and the prototype for exhibiting LAR data is presented and discussed in relation to perspectives for further development. In 2023, we will continue to work on uncovering opportunities for national scaling of the solution. Help us by telling us what you do think about the solution at SDFI Labs and whether you have good suggestions for improvements to the solution.
