The second regional workshop, organised as invitation event, aimed at the discussion and rating of the upscaling and replication potential of the hybrid nature-based solution in further low-lying drainage areas (marsh land) along the tidal Elbe located behind the main dike line.
For this purpose, the audience was introduced to the project in general, the project activities of the Hamburg project partners with focus on inland drainage for flood protection purposes. The discussion and analysis on the aforementioned upscaling and replication potential were done in a dedicated discussion session during the second part of the regional workshop.
