#ClimateDiary Storm #Henk has turned out to be quite bad. A fatality, storm damage and flood alerts across the country. #Floods and ongoing rain in Germany too, and maybe elsewhere? We will have more and more of all this, of course.
@pvonhellermannn@NatureMC Intact #Forests can store and redistribute a lot of water - they can also buffer heavy rainfall events in summer because the rain reaches the ground with a time delay, giving the soil more time to absorb the water.
For urban areas, the #SpongeCities concept is gaining more and more attention.
When I search the internet for "aquaplanning", I only find results for "aquaplaning". 🤔😉
