Heavy rain and flood protection
In recent years, extreme rain events have increased and led to major damage. Heavy rainfall events are effects of climate change and cannot be avoided. Adaptation to these consequences is therefore a future task that the city of Hilden must take on together with all the authorities involved and the citizens. In addition to flooding in the vicinity of water bodies, areas located in depressions or hollows in the terrain topography may also be at risk during such events.
With the help of the heavy rain maps of the city of Hilden, you can see if existing properties or planned construction projects would possibly be affected by flooding due to heavy rain.
The district of Mettmann has published a guide to heavy rain prevention for homeowners, prospective builders and architects. This is available to download from the district's website.
