Montreal unveils new Verdun sponge park to absorb heavy rainfall
Description
April 23, 2024
Montreal is planning to build its largest sponge park to date. The future green space is designed to absorb water following massive downpours. The plan is to convert a park next to the Atwater filtration plant. It will cost millions to complete, but authorities insist it is well worth it. Global’s Tim Sargeant reports.
