Themes and Measures Theme 1: measures in the catchment area of the river
Three measures are supported under Theme 1: Measure 1.1: restoration of the natural course of tributaries and their overflow areas Projects such as the renaturalisation of brooks, the creation and restoration of meanders, the restoration of vegetation and afforestation which aims to retain an optimal amount of water are key to reducing the peak discharge. In addition, as many overflow areas as possible should be created by changing land use which is not in line with the objective of reducing potential damage. To change the land use pattern, land may have to be purchased. Measure 1.2: indirect discharge of rainwater from residential and urban industrial areas To reduce the discharge from residential and industrial areas projects such as water infiltration and improving the porosity and absorption of soil should be carried out if the existing ground water level allows this. Measure 1.3: creating retention and overflow areas To increase the peak discharge of the tributaries in certain areas, retention areas have to be created in case restoration of natural overflow areas is insufficient. In order to create these areas, opportunities for land purchase should be made available. A multisectoral approach is essential.
