N2 - Glacial till forms a major proportion of the surface deposits in
Northern Europe, and in Denmark more than 40% of the land surface is
covered by clayey till. At the same time the majority of densely
populated areas are situated on this fertile sediment type. In urban
areas, one of the major tools in adaptation to climate change are
sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). Their function is to manage the
increasing amounts of stormwater on site, often by direct infiltration
into the sediment. Accordingly, a realistic estimate of nearsurface
hydraulic properties is required when dimensioning SuDS for
infiltration.
