Global Warming and Urban Drainage

Global warming affects urban drainage and water quality in many ways. Changing precipitation patterns, including heavy rainfall in a short period, can lead to increased flooding and erosion, which impair urban drainage and deteriorate water quality through the introduction of pollutants and bacteria. Sewage systems are also heavily overloaded, causing untreated water to enter surface waters and significantly degrade water quality.

These impacts are a complex and multifaceted issue that requires careful planning and forward-looking measures. To address these challenges, it is becoming increasingly important to continuously monitor and analyze environmental and climate data. Monitoring systems help collect relevant data to better understand the impact of global warming on the environment, ecosystems, and human health. This data is crucial for developing adaptation strategies and measures to mitigate the effects of climate change.

GWF, as a leading technology company in the field of ultrasonic flow measurement technology, offers solutions from measurement technology to complete monitoring and evaluation systems for water and wastewater in all forms and applications within the water cycle. Raw water, drinking water, pure water, rainwater, and wastewater in fully and partially filled pipes, channels, or rivers.
