Solution
Image
Development of a digital twin for a rainwater retention basin in Damme (district of Vechta in Lower Saxony). This digital twin will simulate how the basin's water level can be intelligently managed. This allows collecting rainwater, which could be used for irrigation of public areas. While upholding sufficient flood prevention. The project partners can draw on experience from the b:rainTank project, which deals with smart control on a smaller scale, using rain barrels.
