To provide the capital's residents with support and advice on addressing the growing risk of extreme weather events, the City of Luxembourg is working closely with specialist engineering firms to develop a concept for mitigating the impact of flooding and torrential rain. Developing this concept entails, among other things, conducting an in-depth analysis of the current situation, which itself entails an assessment of existing data and on-site visits, hydrodynamic analyses of the sewerage system, hydraulic analyses of local watercourses, mapping out high-risk zones, and establishing a series of measures designed to reduce the impact of flooding.
As part of this process, the City of Luxembourg and the Water Management Authority (Administration de la gestion de l'eau) are inviting the capital's residents to a number of information and discussion events. These meetings are an integral part of the municipal prevention and protection concept development process, in that their aim is not only to raise awareness of and provide information on practical measures that citizens can take to protect their moveable and immoveable property, but also to gather information, through engaging with citizens, that could be useful in developing the municipal concept.
