The LIFE14 CCA/PL/000101 project was aknowledged by the chapter of the Recognition Award "Radom Laurel of Technology" and was awarded the first degree prize - a statuette for innovative implementations using sustainable development principles in the implementation of the project. The statuette is an award for outstanding achievement in a given category. Our project was honoured with this valuable award in the Innovation category. It is noteworthy that the project was entered into the competition by the Mazovian District Chamber of Civil Engineers, whose members had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the project solutions during visits to sites of the project's adaptation tasks.
On behalf of the LIFERADOMKLIMA-PL project team, we would like to invite you to take part in the final conference of the implementation project entitled: 'Adapting to climate change through sustainable management of water of the urban area in Radom city' (LIFE14 CCA/PL/000101).
On 7 October 2022, representatives of the project participated in a conference organised by the Mazovian Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers Local Office in Radom entitled „Flood protection of the city of Radom as part of the LIFERADOMKLIMA -PL project - construction of a flood protection reservoir on the Potok Północny and a flood polder on the Cerekwianka River”.
Seen from a bird's eye view, the effects of the adaptation measures implemented in the project on the Potok Północny, the Borki Reservoir, colmatation ponds and the Cerekwianka River are clearly visible in blue and green, which is exactly what the project is all about. The symbiotic combination of technical thought and nature-based tools perfectly reflects the idea of sustainable urban development with respect for the environment.
The sedimentation and biofiltration system on channel A0 is already operational. The project included the modernization of the existing pumping station, which was built many years ago; an underground separator was installed to stop mechanical impurities transported with the waters, and the existing drain in the form of a concrete trough was filled with dolomite, limestone and a bioker. The latter is expanded clay coated with a special compound for more effective removal of phosphorus from the water. The final element of this system is the rush vegetation zone, the task of which is to polish the waters by incorporating nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus compounds into the plant structure.
