Biofiltration Area for Urban Runoff

New integrative biofiltration area in the city centre as part of new urban adaptation standards, to reduce the amount of water led to storm water sewer systems, to filter harmful substances , and to filter stormwater into groundwater.

Improved lake water quality
Decreased urban flooding
Improved urban biodiversity

There is an increasing demand for decentralized stormwater management solutions driven by urbanization, stricter environmental regulations, and public interest in sustainable practices. This demand is particularly notable in urban areas facing challenges from impervious surfaces and rising pollution levels. The a biofiltration area for urban runoff is addressed to municipal governments and urban planners due to its ability to manage stormwater sustainably in urban centres.

TRL7. Integrated pilot system demonstrated
The first pilot area is implemented and operating.

How does it work?

Water is led to the biofiltration area from street area. Water is infiltrated through the layers that filters the stormwater and reduces pollutants.

The biofiltration system demonstrates the feasibility of decentralized nature-based stormwater management. It provides an efficient solution for filtering pollutants, while reducing the load on stormwater sewer systems. The system also acts as a flood buffer, redirecting and managing excess water during heavy rainfall events.

Can be implemented where the soil is permeable.
