Stormwater biofilter - four field plants soon installed

The implementation of stormwater biofilters (sometimes also called plant beds) is increasing rapidly in Sweden. Still, there are no measurement results showing the function of the filters under Swedish conditions, including how the cold climate can affect the function of the filter.

"Svampen" takes care of large stormwater volumes

How can large amounts of stormwater be taken care of in built-up areas where there is lack of space? This is a question that researchers in the DRIZZLE competence center want to answer in a project with the work name "Svampen".

Improved stormwater quality using grass swales

With increasing urbanization, there will be more of hardened surfaces, such as roads, parking places and roofs. Hard surfaces cause higher levels of pollutants to storm water, higher flow rates and higher volumes. Urbanization thus affects both the quantity of water and the quality of the stormwater...
