3/DU/3/005	Hessisches Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr und Landesentwicklung Räumliche Planung und Bauvorsorge in hochwassergefährdeten Gebieten, insbesondere hinter den Deichen, am Beispiel des hessischen Rieds; kurz: Vorsorge hinter Deichen In developing the areas to the densely populated areas they are today, the risk of flooding was not considered. As a consequence a high damage potential exists. It is the objective of the project to develop precautionary flood management, prevent a further increase of damage potential and develop/enhance instruments of spatial, regional and urban planning. Effect of this study may be the improvement of Spatial Planning instruments as a transferable component and a possible change in land use as a less abstract component.	202.015,-
1/DU/1/006	Staatliches Umweltamt Köln Rückgewinnung eines Retentionsraumes in Siegburg-Kaldauen The project concerns the redevelopment of the flood plains of the Sieg river. In the local programme that will take 30 years altogether this is one of the first projects to be realised. The overall programme aims at improving the watercourses in the area. Creating retention in a side river will delay the discharge to the main rivers and hence, the project contributes to the reduction of the (flood) water level or rather minimises the flood risk.	97.500,-
1/DU/3/007	Zweckverband "Hochwasserschutzeinzugsbereich Seckach-Kirnau" Integriertes Hochwasserschutzprogramm für das Einzugsgebiet von Seckach und Kirnau (Hesk) The project involves the planning and land acquisition for an integrated flood protection program in the Seckach-Kirnau basin (total surface area of 250 square km). Both rivers are tributaries of the Rhine river. The project as it is now under consideration is based upon the initiative of municipalities in the river basin.	992.500,-
3/DU/3/008	Landesumweltamt NRW Erfassung überschwemmungsgefährdete Bereiche in NRW The applicant ensues to map 132 km2 in NordrRhein-Westfalen for areas with a high risk of flooding. The result of the project may be used as an instrument for sensible spatial planning and will be presented in a (digital) decision support system. Three phases may be distinguished: inventarisation of the area; simulation of floodings using a hydraulic model; combining the aforementioned in a digital map (GIS). A cross-border advisory group is set up for guidance.	525.000,-

This will also help to ease peak drainage of the Kinzig at its mouth when Rhine and Kinzig carry extreme flood volumes. It is planned to improve the structures of both banks and adjacent areas in ecological terms for a stretch of 5 km by irregular digging and recontouring.	1.557.000,-
1/DU/2/020	Stadt Leonberg Naturnahe Regenwasserbewirtschaftung für das Gebiet Engelberg-Nordhang in Leonberg The city of Leonberg has reconsidered the construction of a new conventional rain water system, bearing in mind the new ideas of flood risk reduction. By local infiltration durable water management is attempted. Waste water and rain water systems are separated. The investments of conventional systems are saved. The effect of this project is greatest when other cities adopt the concept as well. Promotion and generating awareness is therefore incorporated in the project.	415.935,75
2/DU/1/021	Stadt Duisburg / Entsorgungsbetriebe Duisburg Deichrückverlegung Mündelheimer Rheinbogen The Ministry of Umwelt, Raumordnung und Landwirtschaft has developed a Polder Urgency Program. This consists of the construction of 11 retention areas along the Rhine. In the area, a high damage potential exists, which is why dike relocation was opted for, combined with the creation of a new retention area rather than conventional dike strengthening. The application concerns the design phase only (study).	375.000,-
1/DU/2/022	Gemeinde Massenbachhausen Hochwasserfreimachung Massenbachhausen The applicant intends to reduce discharge from a rural area with high valued landscape by infiltration. This water is saved for the area and may contribute to withdrawal of ground water for agricultural purposes in the dry season. From a spatial planning point of view, this approach is preferred above conventional dike strengthening. A total new area of new land use (canals and dikes) of 12.800 m2. New flood plains: 23.800 m2.	285.000,-
3/DU/3/023	Stadt Köln Sensibilisierung der Bevölkerung für den vorbeugenden Hochwasserschutz With this project the city intends to raise awareness and increase public understanding for her actions and acceptance of the preventive plans and constructions going on.

1/DU/2/037	Am Rosensee Stadtentwicklungsgesellschaft mbH Am Rosensee The objective of this project is to increase infiltration capacity on a former US Army base. In the existing situation, the greater part of the terrain is sealed and rain water is led to the main river via sewer systems. In the new situation the natural retention will be restored by means of infiltration facilities. The current function of the area as Army base will be changed to a residential area of 800 to 850 units, for which a sustainable sewer system is required.	258.842,-
1/DU/2/038	Universität Hannover Hochwasserreduzierung durch dezentrale siedlungswasserwirtschaftliche Maßnahmen im Einzugsgebiet der Saar Based upon test results with rain water infiltration techniques, a large scale investigation is done into the implementation of decentralised infiltration facilities. For the entire region it should be investigated where these facilities are a feasible alternative and where not. By realising such facilities, use is made of the retention capacity of the soil and hence, (peak) discharge is delayed. Research activities only. For more information: www.sieker.de	122.500,-
1/DU/1/039	Bezirk Mittelfranken Hochwasserschutzkonzepte Aisch und Rezat This project concerns the preparatory study for measures in two tributaries, namely the Aisch and the Rezat. The Aisch was canalised in the early forties which caused high waters to be discharged to areas downstream fast. As regards the Rezat river: geological conditions have led to a more vertical flow cross section with steep side slopes (leads to insufficient space). The objective of the project is to increase the natural retention and avoid deepening of the river bed.	255.646,-
1/DU/1/051	Niersverband Renaturierungsprojekt Pont / Geldern The Pont/Geldern project represents a proposal that looks at the re-activation of natural retention of the river plains.

The project intends to adjust the existing buildings and land utilisations to the conditions in the flood plains as a part of the village renewal programme.	68.513,-
3/DU/1/057	Stadt Schwaigern Hochwasserschutz durch landwirtschaftliche Mab nahmen This pilot project aims at applying preventive measures to run-offs and high water levels, so that the rain-water may infiltrate as far as possible. Unlike more conventional means such as the smoothening of run-off waves, this projects proposes to reduce run-off rate instead of the run-off wave. The realisation of the announced measures will be accompanied by field studies which should then quantify the agricultural effects (profits, quality) and effects on water economy (surface run-off) of the agricultural measures.	89.040,-
1/DU/2/066	Stadtverwaltung Neuenburg am Rhein Regenwasserversickerung in Neuenburg am Rhein The municipality intends to achieve extensive ground seepage in the town area in order to derive a general drainage plan for which a programme is implemented to avoid direct discharge of rainwater into the Rhine (sewage-separated-system). This plan will also largely exclude the joint discharge with waste water (sewage-mixed-system). The objective of this project is to renew an environmentally favourable and cost effective rainwater treatment.	1.115.597,-
1/DU/1/067	Hessische Ministerium für Umwelt, Landwirtrschaft und Forsten Vorbeugender Hochwasserschutz im Einzugsgebiet der hessischen Lahn A detailed concept for the remediation of the Lahn that is ecologically founded already exists, but an exemplary concept of flood protection is missing.
