Adaptation to climate change through sustainable management of water of the urban area in Radom City LIFERADOMKLIMA-PL - LIFE14 CCA/PL/000101 PROJECT LOCATION: City of Radom, Poland BUDGET INFO: Total amount: 5 838 099 % EC Co-funding: 56,84 DURATION: Start 16/07/2015 - End: 31/12/2020 PROJECT S IMPLEMENTORS: Coordinating Beneficiary: Associated Beneficiary(ies): Municipal Water Works of Radom, FPP ENVIRO, University of Lodz
Overall objective: To increase climate resilience of Radom City by building demonstrative green-blue infrastructure for managing extreme rainwater flows and control flood risks Objective 1: Development and implementation of demonstration green-blue infrastructure to control extreme flows (and floods risks) in Radom through concerted actions at two levels: Level 1 Level 2 Outside waters Inner-city waters Objective 3: To mainstream climate adaptation into city planning & to improve knowledge for informed decision-making at local level Objective 4: Awareness rising and capacity building on climate adaptation through rainwater management Objective 5: Experience exchange on climate adaptation through rainwater management Objective 2 (cross-cutting): To integrate and enhance biological diversity in all project actions Climate resilience related project results Transferability project results 20/07/17, Msida, Malta /

PROJECT RESULTS The project will bring the following results: Retention capacity of sedimentation ponds increased by 10% Extreme flows capacity in the Mleczna River increased by 10% by natural restoration on a 600m long stretch Borki reservoir retention capacity increased by 10% Increased purification capacity of sedimentation ponds by 10% (Change to baseline: 10 % N, P, Fe) 800m of rainwater channel sealed and iron pollution in water decreased by 40% Sequenced sedimentation-biofiltration system applied average nutrients reduction 20% annually (ca. 20% N, 15% P, 10% Fe, 40% TSS); These results will increase resilience capacity in the urban area as well as the number of biodiversity habitat areas.
