The guidebook "Backflow Protection" is aimed at owners of land and buildings as well as planning offices, municipalities, tradesmen and the housing industry.

As heavy rainfall events occur more frequently and more intensively, properties are at risk in two ways: from flooding and from backwater from overloaded sewage systems. The guidebook first places the phenomenon of heavy rain in the current context of climate change; experts then explain how flooding and backwater occur, describe the options for technical and structural protection, illustrate insurance aspects and provide an overview of the applicable standards.

In addition, the guidebook explains what needs to be considered in the special case of buildings on slopes. Typical application examples round off the brochure, which is published in the specialist book series "Ökologie aktuell".
