To examine the area of Nordkroken, we created a coupled MIKE URBAN (now MIKE+) and MIKE SHE model for the following three scenarios:
- Natural conditions with no developments in the area
- Current conditions with existing development
- Future conditions with current and planned developments
In addition to these three scenarios, we ran simulations for various rainfall events during both dry (summer) and wet (autumn) seasons. With the simulations, we identified the main sources of flooding during different conditions, established a water balance for the area, and tested the efficiency of a future stormwater system. By including a groundwater model, the stormwater system was designed to fit the specific groundwater conditions at the site to ensure safe and efficient management of surface flooding.
