80% din București este acoperit de beton și asfalt. Cum se adaptează canalizarea orașului la ploile tot mai puternice • Utile

Bucharest faces significant challenges in managing stormwater due to urbanization and climate change, with 80% of its surface being impermeable. Investments are underway to enhance the drainage system and adapt to extreme weather. The NPIO program aims to improve infrastructure resilience and includes retention basins to manage heavy rainfall. Monitoring and preventive maintenance have improved significantly over the years, allowing for quicker responses to flooding. However, the public must understand that the drainage system is not designed for solid waste, which complicates its efficiency.
