potential flooding areas overstated shafts (WFS Service)

Under certain precipitation conditions, floods from the sewer may occur, which spread over the surface and, if necessary, cause damage there. The reported flooding areas are based on model results from ITWH on the basis of 2 precipitation scenarios (see “surcharged shafts”) assuming the foreclosure of all canals along the Elbe at Elbe floods up to 6 m and the maximum flow rate of all pumping plants.
