About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">The Metsanurga area, which is partly located in the Märjamaa, is a developing industrial area, where 5 companies are currently operating along the street, and two more companies are already planning to move industry to the same area. In total nearly 150 people are working there and this makes it very important in the region. Unfortunately, the roof surfaces of production buildings and the surfaces of storage and transport sites are large, and the increase in precipitation and extreme changes in temperature have affected the industry and transport.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">Because of the climate changes, the rainfall intensity is increasing and can cause transport connections stops, longer use of time in production, damage to vehicles and transport, and spoilage or damage to goods. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">During the summer, heat waves from climate change can also cause damage. Due to the above, the project will set up a rainwater collection system, which will collect water during the rainy season and reuse it to irrigate green areas and, if necessary, cool down storage and transport sites. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">The aim of the project is therefore to create a rainwater recovery system through the construction of a rainwater pipeline and a collection pond to prevent possible damage from heat waves and floods due to climate change by April 2024.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif">Within the framework of the project, a rainwater pipeline will be built under Metsanurga Street, to which the surrounding companies will join. Companies that are moving production to Metsanurga Street have also been taken into account. In total, rainwater is collected from a white area of about 100 ha and directed to a collection pond, from where it can be pumped out later and reused for landscaping. Rainwater collected from production and storage sites passes through a cleaning device, after which the water is directed to a rainwater pipeline.</span></span></p>
