Central Aim

Central aim is to encourage estate owners to realize solutions to reduce the amount of discharged rain water and to increase the storage capacities. Therefore, the Hamburg concept is to calculate the charge for the use of the sewage and sewer system depending on the storage capacities on roofs and on the ground and the sealed land area.

To inform the estate owners and to estimate the storage concepts and capacities, a concept for a WATER PASSPORT will be developed consisting of a checklist with main elements of a sustainable rain water management.



Envisaged Output

The WATER PASSPORT detects potentials of

  • green roofs
  • ground shaping
  • infiltration
  • storage capacities and
  • rain water use

and provides solutions for concept realizations.

The WATER PASSPORT supports the information of estate owners and the planning and implementation of concepts.
