Evaporation of precipitation water as a new approach to climate change adaptation

The aim of the project is to test the possibility of evaporation as an independent and innovative approach of a local rainwater management in addition to the established methods for the decoupling of precipitation waters (such as infiltration). The questions of the project are:

• Can such an evaporation system reduce the heating of the urban climate?
• What dimension of an evaporation bed with plants is necessary to work in a proper way?

 As part of the project, therefore, the accumulated rainwater is collected in a disused fire basin and brought to the evaporation beds on the property. The calculated dimensioning of the evaporation beds will be checked and optimized by real measurements. At the same time, the evaporation of the individual places (fire extinguishers, evaporation beds, etc.) and the micro-climatic effects of evaporation (lowering of temperature / increase in humidity) on the property are recorded.
