The climate is changing, and we feel it in Esbjerg too. Here it is especially the water that will challenge us.
The water level in the sea is rising, the groundwater is higher than before and more extreme weather in the form of rain brings more water with it. These are the different scenarios that you can play with in this app. At the same time, you will find inspiration to turn rainwater into a resource in your neighborhood or on your own property.
• Esbjerg in 3D
Here you can see which places in Esbjerg are potentially affected by floods due to sea, rain or ground water. Here, it is calculated how different statistical event types will look in the future.
For example, you will be presented with an example of how a rainstorm in the form of a 100-year event could look like in 2065.
• Your water level
The water level gauge shows you how high the sea, rain and ground water will possibly be where you are in Esbjerg.
• Green Solutions
Here you can place solutions in your neighbourhood, on your road or on your property. What the solutions have in common is that they are about keeping the rainwater where it falls, instead of the water being directed on and creating floods elsewhere.
Big and small initiatives will help make Esbjerg resilient, so that our city can withstand and handle large volumes of water in the future.
