The measures available in this web platform are a compilation of the state of the art in Climate Change Adaptation. They provide information about all potential solutions to reduce the impacts, damage and vulnerability of any territory. The measures have been obtained from different EU-funded scientific research projects. They are classified to facilitate the selection, using the search engine and the filters available.
This is a live tool, and it welcomes new measures as the Climate Adaptation research and practice evolves. If you register, you can enter new measures, and use all of them to create a tailored strategy for the municipality, district or region of interest. Also they can be included in the prioritization tool to compare the impact of the measures, which supports Climate Action decision-making.
Square or circular excavations either filled with rubble or lined with brickwork, pre-cast concrete or polyethylene rings/perforated storage structures surrounded by granular backfill. They can be grouped and linked together to drain large areas including highways. The supporting structure and backfill can be substituted by modular or geocellular units. Soakaways are one type of "Infiltration Device", a simple way of dispersing surface and storm water in situations where connection to the sewer system system is impractical or unwarranted. The basic principle is that of a "reverse well"; i.e. a "hole-in-the-ground"; that loses water rather than collecting water. Installing a soakaway provides a means by which rainwater from a building can be collected and dispersed into the soil in a suitable location. This measure is part of the called Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).

Shallow, flat bottomed, vegetated open chanels designed to convey, treat and often attenuate surface water runoff. They are often used to drain roads, paths or car parks. This measure is part of the called Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).
