Design capacity description
15000m3
Constraints
At the beginning of the project, the storage was going to be a concrete water tank. A whole procedure of re-thinking had to be done.
Favourable preconditions
The idea to change from concrete to natural water retention was supported by WFD conditions and the city management.
