due to high water levels in the sea around Gothenburg, which limits run-off from Göta River. The sea level is the single most significant factor affecting the flood risk and in unfavourable conditions can affect the level in the river all the way up to the sluices in Lilla Edet. The high flows in the

In Sweden, climate change is expected to lead to larger amounts of storm water run-off to be handled in the urban environment. In many cities, a densification is also under way with more buildings and hardened surfaces. At the same time, the share of green spaces with good infiltration

not covered by the precipitation that comes during the vegetation period. In the more water retaining soils, clay soils, there is a water reservoir that the plants use. Lighter soils, sandy soils, have little possibility to store water. By collecting water in the winter time, surface water or from

By systematically working with climate adaptation, the changes in the climate of the future will be easier to handle. An action plan for climate adaptation paves the way for the issue to have a greater impact, at the same time that awareness it increases the risks and vulnerabilities in the

time that the municipality began planning a walkway and bicycle path along the river. Since a flood bank would also have to be drawn along the river, the idea was born to have a combined solution. The decision was to build a flood bank of just over one kilometre with a walkway and bicycle path that
