consequences of the heavy rain

The overall impression of such weather events leads to a repeated discussion about the dangers associated with heavy rain. According to the GDV, the frequency of damage caused by heavy rain has increased in recent years. The studies by the German Weather Service show that the number of extreme rainfall has increased because the heated atmosphere can store more moisture. This increases the likelihood of heavy rain, floods and other natural dangers, which is why preparations and corresponding measures for risk assessment are becoming increasingly important.

Reporting on such incidents underlines the need to adapt the infrastructure to the changed climatic conditions. Concepts such as the sponge city could help design the urban structures in such a way that they can react better to extreme weather events.
