1 WATER IN THE GREEN CITY HAMBURG the RISA project Rain InfraStructure Adaptation (Aerial photo: Hamburg Marketing GmbH) 1

2 the RISA project Rain InfraStructure Adaptation... is a joint project by the State Ministry for Urban Development & Environment and HAMBURG WASSER aims at future-oriented and sustainable solutions for flooding protection and inland flood control, water body conservation and nearnatural water balance is part of the climate protection policy and contributes to the adaptation strategy for climate change (Photo: Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, State Ministry of Urban Development and Environment) 2

3 we create the MODERN HAMBURG Hamburg is growing and getting more and more condensed. 6,000 new flats per year are scheduled Concentration and sealing are increasing about 60 hectares of settlement and traffic areas are added every year The sewage system is constantly being expanded, but capacities remain limited The climate change is affecting the citizens (Graphic: acc. to E. Kruse: Integrierte Regenwassermanagement großräumig planen Potentiale und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für Hamburg, 2011) safety and quality of life (Aerial photo: Deutsche Luftbild GmbH)

4 Consequences of climate change FLOODING just a few minutes of heavy rainfall are enough to cause flooding of shops and streets DROUGHT water bodies and wetlands dry up due to long periods without rainfall and low water retention in the catchment area (Photo: Brachfläche am Klein Flottbeker Bahnhof, Nienstedten, Hamburg. 2008) 4
