Internationalization of the unique test facility for heavy rainfall and urban flooding under construction by IKT. The project is funded by the EU’s and North Rhine-Westphalia’s (NRW) joint Fund for Research Infrastructures.

Description

NRW Environment Minister Ursula Heinen-Esser visited IKT in November 2018 and presented the million-dollar funding decision. The main initial overall objective focuses on preventing flooding from local heavy rainfall and protecting people and buildings by obtaining a better understanding of flow exchange between sewers and urban surfaces. Further steps will include journal publications and writing project proposals
