| Abstract |
The article presents the assessment of 14 solutions most often used for supporting water circulation in residential areas. They were valorized in relation to the spatial and functional aspects. The results were derived using the scoring method and allowed for the identification of the value of the studied solutions on three levels: high (rain gardens, street side bioretention basins), medium (green roofs, infiltration wells, infiltration trenches and grassed swales, grassed retention and infiltration basins, permeable pavements, and infiltration boxes), and low (wetland ponds, sealed surface and underground water reservoirs, and water squares). Sustainable water management in housing estates requires a conscious selection of blue and green infrastructure solutions based on their individual features. The implementation of solutions assessed as more valuable may increase the impact of these areas in mitigating the negative effects of climate change and support the aims of the European Green Deal strategy. |
