    Abstract [en]

    Tomorrow's communities are facing major challenges such as managing the increasing amount of intense and extreme rain water occasions that are expected to increase due to climate changes. The solution is to plan and think about the whole of how cities can best be designed, using functional open storm water solutions to give a good effect and runoff. It is also important to create an understanding that the open storm water systems contribute positive effects to society, such as by becoming a resource for the city's vegetation and green spaces, and hence achieve greener and more beautiful cities (Hållbar dag- och dränvattenhantering, 2011) and that increases people's health (Viklander & Blecken 2012). The urban cycle, writes Butler & Davies (2011), replaces part of the natural cycle and Lidström (2012) explains that the urban cycle borrows water from the natural and then creates an extra loop of water through the circle. Butler & Davies (2011) explains how important it is that there is an understanding of the consequences that occur when a part of the natural hydrologic cycle is replaced with an artificial part of the urban environment. Lidström (2012), writes that in nature, when it rains and the water falls on a natural surface returning part of the rain water through evapotranspiration, and so on. In contrast, in the urban environment that to some extent has a similar process but with the difference that the rain falling on a hard surface usually becomes contaminated by various substances and particles stick to the water droplet. One of the major differences between the urban and natural hydrological cycle is the degree of purification. In the urban hydrological cycle is the purification process in a more concentrated form: treatment plants. And in the natural hydrological cycle is nature itself that purify the water. By imparting knowledge to the citizens and letting them have an opportunity to influence the implementation of Rain gardens in their communities. Thereby might much of the suspicion and skepticism that previously existed might change into constructive opinions towards the plant, much thanks to the added value that the city benefits from the plant. The values received from the plant will benefit the social aspect of the city and contribute to increasing social benefits, including increased public health, sustainable treatment of storm water that helps to reduce the load on treatment plants. This will reduces the risk of flooding in the future.
