The dual polarization X-band radar installed at École des Ponts ParisTech provides rainfall data at street scale and with a precision of one minute, it was co-funded by the EU’s Interreg NWE IVB Programme, by Veolia through the Chair Hydrology for Resilient Cities and by Île-de-France Region.

Installation of a frequency filter on the X-band radar of École des Ponts ParisTech. There are several users of X-band frequencies, thanks to the frequency filter a limited portion of the frequency spectrum will be used. Champs-sur-Marne / France; 2015.

On the 19th of May a intenses and localised storm hit École des Ponts ParisTech and it was measured by the new radar. The yellow colour indicates where the precipition is more intense and the cross in the centre of the picture corresponds to the location of École des Ponts and its radar.

The X band is a segment of the microwave radio region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It is located between 8 and 12 GHz. Because of its low frequency, it is a non-ionizing radiation, in other words it hasn't enough energy to alter atomes and molecules (unlike UV and x-ray radiations).

Water plaza : During dry weather, the plaza operates like any other public square, it’s a space for public performances, sports, or special events. When it rains, water from surrounding streets is directed into the square, which fills up. This pools the water, relieving pressure on surrounding drainage. Rotterdam; 2013.
