Abstract
Due to climate change, the intensity of both draughts and rainstorms will increase (KNMI 2014). This, together with soil sealing will cause pluvial flooding in urban areas to occur more often in the future. As a solution, temporary water storage, both above and below ground, is being implemented as a measure against flooding. The city Rotterdam is one of the leading players in the world of making the city climateproof (Afeworki et al. 2017). In this report, 3 cases of temporary water storage are analysed and compared based on 3 different elements: Effectivity of the measure, functionality and the design of the measure. In these cases, to decrease the problem of pluvial flooding, underground storage can be considered to be most efficient. However, above ground water storage in combination with public participation at the start of process management, can lead to making better places.
