Green-blue infrastructure elements provide a wide range of ecosystem services, such as water purification, air quality, space for recreation, and climate change mitigation and adaptation. Their integration makes our urban spaces more resilient, pleasant, and healthy places to live, work and play. The contribution is focused on the proposal of suitable water retention measures in the village of Nižný Hrušov (Slovakia) with the aim of ensuring the safe drainage of rainwater and the protection of the inner village against flood flows in the stream during increased surface rainwater flows. The result of this study is the design of several separate objects, such as an infiltration pipe - a trench, inspection and cleaning shafts, a detention tank, and a rain garden, whose technical and social functions are interconnected.

Keywords: green-blue infrastructure, rain garden, infiltration system, detention tank, floods
