In Prague-Kyje, we capture rainwater and return it to the landscape. We thus contribute to the natural cooling of the urban district with significant concrete construction, biodiversity and the effective use of rain to strengthen underground water. In this way, we return 12.5 million litres of water to the soil annually. By returning the water directly to the landscape, we also save on the costs of unnecessary rainwater cleaning. When building a new autonomous warehouse, we preferred to build a dry polder over a traditional honeycomb tank with rainwater draining into the sewer connection. The polder will retain rainwater from 80% of ​​the entire plant area. The system uses a dry polder, which is directed by its controlled outflow with a retention volume of 670 m3 into the wetland itself. At the same time, the working group managed to reduce investment and operating costs for the entire system.

In the Broumovsko region, we support the Landscape Adaptation to Climate Change project. The strategy created on the basis of this project will define a long-term approach aimed at improving the basic water regime of the landscape, increased water retention in the area of ​​the river basin, flood protection of the area and increased biodiversity.
