The overall objective is to develop a practical methodology for prediction of future groundwater levels and pore pressures so that society can prepare to take the control- and reinforcement measures needed for existing geotechnical structures in a planned manner, and that new structures can be constructed with the support of adequate future climate scenarios. This means that society can work long-term with measures for urban environments, according to a planned climate adaptation strategy.

The methodology for prediction of future groundwater levels and pore pressures will be based on the latest knowledge of future climate scenarios and the best possible groundwater modeling technology for a sufficient number of hydrogeological reference areas. By developing the methodology in collaboration with stakeholders, the project ensures that the results will be applicable, easy-to-use and goal-oriented.
