Problems with Water in Cities

Agnieszka Sikora , Damian Absalon

Abstract

It takes only a few minutes of a sudden downpour to paralyze not only the traffic in the city, but also to flood houses, cellars, or public buildings. The cost of removing the losses is enormous. One of the tasks of the Silesian Water Centre, a unit at the University of Silesia, is to search for solutions of these problems and to indicate ways to mitigate and eliminate the effects of such phenomena. The complex problems associated with climate change can be mitigated by introducing a so-called blue-green infrastructure and appropriate urban and architectural solutions.
