Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Städernas hårdgjorda ytor hindrar nederbörd från att infiltrera ner i marken, vilket ger dagvatten som måste tas om hand. I och med ett framtida ändrat klimat kommer vintrarna i Skåne att bli varmare, med mer regn och mindre snö och antalet dagar med kraftig nederbörd att bli fler. Med mer intensiva regn ökar risken att städernas vattenledningsnät översvämmas. ÖIn cities hard surfaces prevent rainwater from infiltrating to the ground, which causes runoff,stormwater, that needs to be taken care of.
