The Municipality of Jemeppe-sur-Sambre is committed to protecting its citizens from climate risks, including floods and runoff. To this end, a delegation visited the professional trade fair Inondéa in Liège on Monday, October 12.
This initiative aims to consult specialists and discover the latest innovations and best practices in water management. The fair brought together experts, inventors, and specialists to discuss several crucial topics.
Topics included land use planning and natural networks, emphasizing how every square meter counts (hedges, copses, wood fascines, soil management) to slow down and retain water upstream. Technical protection, featuring modern anti-flood devices, removable barriers, and targeted equipment for sensitive infrastructure, was also a key focus.
The goal is to make informed investments by analyzing the best market solutions to inform future municipal projects and investment plans.
