Sponge infrastructure enhances an area's capacity to absorb rainwater & mitigate flooding.
Sponge infrastructure is a nature based solution, that integrates engineered systems that soaks up water like a sponge by mimicking the earth's water cycle, it transforms urban environments to manage excess rain and flood water more efficiently.
How it works…
Spongy landscapes also help to reduce flooding, improve water quality, replenish the water table, increase biodiversity, create wildlife habitats and improve air quality.
