Findings of case studies
• Distribution companies generally well
equipped for climate change
– Cabling of all overhead lines well under way
– Distribution boxes in areas with increased risk of
flooding are elevated already
– Salt spray further inland is becoming an increasing
problem for substations and transformers

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
Rietveld, 2009; Regmi & Hanaoka, 2011; Road ERA-net 2009 & 2010

lying areas in the City is illustrated for present climate in Figure 5. It is
expected that the future water level of the Horsens fiord will increase by 1 meter by the end of this
century.

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

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

stations, surface winds are measured at different heights, h, varying between 4.0 and 18.3 m.
