Abstract [en]

A study on stormwater management in the city of Stockholm was made to investigate how the climate change in the form of stormwater management manages during heavy rains. The study includes open stormwater management in the form of a dry pond that will be built in connection with a district in Stockholm becoming denser. Using this type of open stormwater management is something that has recently begun to be applied in today's urban planning. It is therefore important to understand how the facilities work and where they are suitable for construction. Climate change is something that is happening all over the world and being able to adapt to the new climate is important, because it affect us socio-economically and socially.Floods are one of the major natural disasters that Sweden has encountered because of climate change. This could be seen in August 2021, when Gävle was flooded. It took a couple of days before the water had completely disappeared. As a result, all traffic was suspended and properties and roads were flooded, resulting in several million in repair costs. Half a year later, Gävle is still recovering from the disaster.When planning and building new neighbourhoods, floods should be considered. This has been chosen to be done in the Vårberg district - an area that will be more densely populated. With the construction of a dry pond, they want to compensate for the hardened surface that will be added to the new buildings. The solution with a dry pond is part of the City of Stockholm's stormwater strategy, where they want the stormwater to be managed locally.To better understand stormwater management in the City of Stockholm, a literature study has been done. An interview with an official at the City of Stockholm also gave an insight into what type of function the dry pond has in the area as well as a site visit to gain a better understanding of Vårberg and the dry pond that a facility has carried out.The results show that the dry pond is a facility that is both economically and environmentally feasible. It is a climate-adapted facility that also contributes to better water quality before it ends up in Lake Mälaren.
