Blue-Green Infrastructure at the Long Night of the Sciences

On 22 June 2024, SmartWater joined the Long Night of the Sciences event. Curious visitors gathered outside the TU Berlin building, where the Berliner Wasserbetriebe, the KWB (Competence Centre for Water Berlin), and the Berliner Regenwasseragentur (Berlin Rainwater Agency) showcased the world of blue-green infrastructure in an engaging, digital format.

An interactive multitouch table invited visitors of all ages to explore a digital city map, highlighting the many uses of blue-green infrastructure. With just one click, attendees could uncover the benefits of green infiltration areas and swales for urban environments and groundwater, complemented by concise, easy-to-understand explanatory text.

The display also introduced other innovative concepts, such as rooftop greenery, surface unsealing, rainwater harvesting, and green and water spaces – all aimed at enhancing urban living.
