Integration of the sponge city concept for Ukraine
Funding Programme
Bayerisches Förderprogramm zur Anbahnung internationaler Forschungskooperationen
Background
The southern regions of Ukraine are heavily affected by the impacts of war and climate change. Rivers and adjacent ecosystems, in particular, are under pressure. The project fosters German-Ukrainian cooperation in water management by creating synergies between the expertise of both countries regarding sustainable concepts—specifically that of "integrated food production."
Objectives
Development of a practical model for water body restoration adapted to Ukrainian conditions, incorporating:
Rainwater management
Restoration of hydrological processes
Green infrastructure
The aim is to develop concrete projects and proposals for future pilot projects in Ukraine.
