Flood and heavy rainfall prevention concept
In recent years, hail, storms and heavy rain have increasingly dominated the weather in the summer months and keep people on tenterhooks. Reports of localized flash floods and floods with catastrophic effects are becoming more frequent in the media. After very short periods of intense rainfall, the water in the mountains seems to come from everywhere, from the sky, from the sewers, from fields and paths and from small streams that suddenly turn into raging rivers.
The municipality of Winnweiler has already experienced heavy rainfall and flooding in the past, resulting in damage to private and public buildings as well as infrastructure.
For this reason, igr GmbH was commissioned by the municipality of Winnweiler to draw up a flood and heavy rainfall prevention concept for the local community of Lohnsfeld.
The experiences of the residents of the local community of Lohnsfeld formed an important basis for the development of the local flood and heavy rainfall prevention concept and should help to sustainably reduce the potential for damage.
