The Polytechnic University of Coimbra (UPCoimbra) is leading a European project called "ResSuDSCita – Resilient and Sustainable Drainage Systems for Cities". The information was released by the higher education institution through a press release sent to the Portuguese news agency "Lusa".
The international project's main objective is to promote more sustainable management of rainwater in urban centers. It also aims to contribute to the adaptation of urban territories to extreme weather events, thus responding to the challenges posed by climate change in cities.
The initiative is positioned within the context of the need to make cities more resilient to increasingly unpredictable and adverse climate conditions. The project specifically addresses urban drainage as a strategic area for environmental sustainability and the safety of populations.
