increased net precipitation and increased rainfall intensity put pressure on the sewage
system and the lake dam. Flooding of the town is expected to occur more frequently. Future flooding
storms could be as high as 2,5 meters.
The challenges have been divided into two main themes: sea level change and rainfall.

fiord area. Adaptive challenges due to changes in regional groundwater level
An increase in sea level will cause more frequent flooding in the town due to its low lying position by
the fjord. In 2006, the local town hall was flooded when sea level rose to 1.76 m above normal.
Simultaneously, increased net precipitation and increased rainfall intensity put pressure on the sewage
system

Outline for the case Road maintenance in a changing climate
Introduction
Roads and transport systems are vulnerable to climate change impacts (VTT 2011; Koetse and

During these years, the measuring net has improved and become more sensitive. That is the reason for showing the larger earthquakes separately.

between both modules was done by a net boundary flux between the unsaturated zone and
the groundwater (Schulla & Jasper, 2007).

added to a classic degree-day model. For infiltration, a methodology of Peschke, based on
the approach of Green and Ampt, was used. To calculate the fluxes within the unsaturated
soil zone, the Richards equation was used. The groundwater table was modelled in both the
unsaturated zone module and the groundwater module. The coupling between both modules
was done by a net/media/ces/2010_017.pdf
