3 01 INTRODUCTION TRAGSA RESEARCH,DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION DINA-MAR Infiltration GIAE Urban rainwater harvesting Discovering the importance of water cycle and infiltration

4 LETS TALK ABOUT URBAN WATER CYCLE

5 02 JUSTIFICATION Urban water cycle Heat island Climate change Urban environment Economical cost Runoff increase and less infiltration. Impermeability ---> temperature rising. Misadaptation. Lost of biodiversity. Infrastructures and natural disasters.
