40% of natural disasters are floods. We have the technology to manage our stormwater more efficiently --it's easier than you may think. And once you capture the rainwater, you can reuse it. Restore your aquifer, irrigate landscaping and more while reducing strain on potable water resources. Which #future are you preparing for? Let's #BuildBetter infrastructure for stormwater management, together! We have the solutions. Let's go. #StormwaterManagement #UrbanPlanning #ResilientInfrastructure #WaterManagement

Controlling flood through discipline involves coordinated human behavior, responsible land use planning, proper waste disposal, disciplined construction, water conservation, maintenance of drainage systems, education, and awareness. #FloodControl #Discipline #EnvironmentProtection

👉 SuDs (Sustainable Drainage Systems) are important to reduce surface water flooding, improve water quality and enhance biodiversity of the environment. Here are a few commonly used features: 🟡 Green roofs 🟡 Infiltration Systems such as Soakaways 🟡 Rain Gardens 🟡 Pervious Paving 🟡 Swales 🟡 Wetlands 🟡 Detention Basins 🟡 And many more! 🔗 To learn more about how SuDS can be incorporated into your project and the benefits they bring, please visit our website ➡️ https://lnkd.in/et5H6yuV #suds #sustianabledrainage #watermanagement #floodprevention

When it rains heavily in urban areas, the water often ends up in sewer systems unable to handle the sudden volume. It's wasteful and can result in damaging urban floods. ROCKWOOL Rainwater Systems help urban communities do more with this precious resource. By soaking up heavy rainfall quickly, filtering it and releasing slowly to the surrounding soil, our products help towns and cities maintain a better water balance and protect infrastructure. ✅ 🏢 A way to go, isn't it?

As cities expand, natural landscapes are replaced with buildings and asphalt, increasing the amount of stormwater runoff. Managing this runoff is critical to prevent flooding, waterway contamination, and erosion. Green infrastructure is key to tackling urban stormwater challenges. #stormwater #civilengineering #waterquality #aquashield #greeninfrastructure

Why Dewatering is Essential for Winter and Spring Construction? Winter and spring bring rain, melting snow, and high groundwater levels, which can flood construction sites. Water accumulation can lead to safety hazards, unstable soil, environmental damage, and costly delays without proper dewatering. Effective dewatering keeps sites safe by preventing slippery surfaces and ice formation. It stabilizes soil, ensuring strong foundations, and helps protect nearby ecosystems by controlling runoff. Most importantly, it keeps your project on schedule, even during challenging weather conditions. This season, prepare your site for success by investing in expert dewatering solutions to stay safe, compliant, and efficient. #ConstructionSafety #DewateringSolutions #WinterConstruction #SpringConstruction #GroundwaterManagement #ConstructionEfficiency #SitePreparation #RainySeasonReady #EnvironmentalProtection #SafeConstruction #FoundationStability
