The water companies are taking care of the drainage of the rainwater and the owners of the buildings have to protect their own properties from the water. Damage is never foreseen or not possible to fully prevent. What\u2019s more or less foreseeable: politics and experts have to determine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the neighbourhood <strong>\u201cDe Overloper\u201d<\/strong> the rainwater running off the roofs and roads will be led into the swale by above ground gutters and \/ or ditches. Therefore, the combined and rainwater sewer system has to be separated. Enlarging the sewer system (by bigger pipes) so they can cope with the larger amount of water is not an option. It isn\u2019t possible to make the sewer system larger to cope with all types of rainfall (the heaviest rainfall events), for if Middleburg chose to do this, they estimate that it would cost more than 10 billion euros. Not only is the cost an obstacle, also the lack of space in the city centre to install much bigger sewer pipes.<\/p>\n<p>On two sites, the swale will be connected with a pond (water feature) to discharge the excess of the buffered rainwater.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/product-category\/stormwater-management\/\">SUDs interventions<\/a> must be integrated with reconstructions of roads, revitalisation of neighbourhoods and water from roads, car parks and neighbourhoods must be stored and buffered.<\/p>\n<p>So on 11th September 2018 Dean Bowie, CEO &amp; SuDS Specialist travelled to meet with our Dutch distributor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joostenkunststoffen.nl\/nl\">Joosten\u00a0<\/a>to begin installation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8656\"
