The project aimed to use the capacity of sewer systems to develop internal retention ponds to store precipitation water during heavy rainfall, through the installation of discharge brakes in the sewer systems (HydrOstyx ® procedure) in two German towns, Stuttgart and Stockach, two Austrian towns, Götzis and Feldkirch, and the German sewage association AZV Lamer Winkel. The technology proved itself to be simple and effective, achieving also saving on costs compared to those associated with rain basins for mixed water treatment
