The consequences of climate change are and will remain the challenge for our own and next generations. On the one hand, we are dealing with a rise in temperatures and on the other hand, we are dealing with heavy and unforeseen rainfall. This has caused flooding and serious sewage overload in cities. This combined with the trend towards urbanization and the increasing desire for “green, more biodiverse living space” to meet our basic needs, poses a challenge for our society.
Nophadrain has developed water retention systems for extensive green roofs, bio-solar roofs, intensive green roofs and even trafficable roofs. The basis of the systems are the various ND WSE Water Retention Elements in combination with the so-called ND AFC-100 Adjustable Flow Control. The water storage capacity of these elements varies between 48 and 143 liters per m². The water storage capacity of these elements varies between 48 and 143 liters per m².

We offer a suitable water retention element for each application, which includes suitable compressive strength and temporary and/or long-term water storage. To relieve the storm water system, water retention systems are designed to store a certain water capacity (l/m²) in combination with a calculated water discharge rate to temporarily retain water under the top layer of the roof (paving or vegetation), so that the storm water system is relieved during (drain) )showers. To make the water on green roofs also available for vegetation, Nophadrain recommends combining all water retention systems for green roofs with our ND SM Substrate Panels or ND WSM Water Reservoir Panels. Both products are installed above the water retention layer and do buffer water up to their saturation point.
