According to climate change scenarios Baltic Sea Region (BSR) will face more frequent and heavier rainfalls. At the same time the trend in urban planning is to densify urban areas. It leads to more serious urban flooding that causes costs, environmental degradation and risks to human safety. Current planning and management practices have proven to be weak in meeting these challenges. Therefore there is a clear need for transferring storm waters (SW) from a problem to a resource for urban areas. SW management must be among top priorities in urban development and should be integrated into urban planning processes at all levels. To achieve these goals, cities around BSR have to meet common challenge of dispersed planning and management responsibilities of SWs. iWater aims to improve urban planning by developing integrated and multifunctional SW management in Central Baltic cities and creating higher quality and more resilient urban space and increase of urban sustainability. iWater provides a platform for science-practice collaboration aimed to find and develop common management methods, guidelines, tools and solutions for Integrated Storm Water Management (ISWM). 7 iWater partner cities will adopt new ISWM programmes/plans and 25-35 other BSR cities will be trained to use developed methods. ISWM tools will be developed, localized and piloted in city plans by each partner city. Thus multifunctional SW solutions will be integrated into urban planning by introducing innovative Green Infrastructure solutions that provide ecosystem services. A student competition will be organised to find and develop new and innovative ISWM solutions for 7 partner cities applicable to BSR conditions – SW planning solutions will be elaborated at conceptual and/or sketch design level and construction/investment plans will be prepared. Active involvement of local stakeholders, experts and residents in iWater activities will be ensured. (English)
