Project goal<\/h2>\n

The primary goal of this project is to enhance water resilience and address flood risk management<\/a> in the region, particularly at the confluence of the Ourthe and Vesdre rivers. Our team has conducted extensive studies and developed two scenarios based on different flood management<\/a> approaches. By testing resilient development principles and ensuring the safety of people and property, we aim to expand flood-prone areas while effectively managing the risks associated with flooding.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
