On Wednesday, 24 April 2024, the MULTISOURCE Splashdown Webinar is coming up with the edition ‘Sponge City and Storm Management’ to be held from 3:00 to 4:00 pm CEST.

The webinar will feature two esteemed speakers from Europe who are at the forefront of urban water management:

These experts will delve into real-world case studies demonstrating effective stormwater management and water resilience strategies:

This approach has bolstered the city’s resilience against extreme weather and improved water quality, serving as a model for sustainable urban planning.

The session promises to offer valuable insights for city planners, environmentalists, policy makers, and anyone interested in the integration of natural water systems within urban landscapes.
