Climate actions
Adaptation of the territory to create new courses, or maintenance, or course deviation of flowing water like rivers and streams. It can be combined with recreational public space. The costs vary according to size and complexity of the measure; acceptance of neighbours may not be very high as they are afraid of littering, noise, and smell of the water body and surroundings. Moreover, it could cause flooding or accidents itself and could cause conflicts with other urban users for the available space.
