Urban flood risks combats through rainwater storage and infiltration

Sealed surfaces disrupt the natural water cycle, with only 25% of rainwater infiltrating the ground, while the rest becomes runoff or evaporates.

Challenges

Increased Demand

Rising water use by households, industry, and agriculture is depleting groundwater levels.

Overuse for Irrigation

70% of pumped groundwater is used for irrigation, endangering reservoirs.

Unsustainable Practices

Drilling new wells isn't sustainable and harms ecosystems.

Rainwater infiltration is key to sustainable water use, supporting groundwater recharge, reducing flood risks, and improving soil and water quality.

Irrigation and Domestic Use

Rainwater replaces drinking water, promoting sustainability.

Natural Cycle Restoration

Infiltration tanks help rainwater re-enter the natural cycle, improving groundwater quality.

Groundwater Recharge

Targeted infiltration prevents further depletion of groundwater levels.

Flood Risk Reduction

Infiltration reduces urban flood risks by managing runoff.

Soil Quality Improvement

Enhances soil moisture, supports plant growth, and reduces erosion.
