Update of the watercourse development plan for the town of Bretten

Update of the watercourse development plan for the town of Bretten

GefaÖ was commissioned to update the watercourse development plan for the town of Bretten, for a total watercourse stretch of around 72 km.

Complementary to the ecological inventory within the framework of the watercourse development plan, goals and suitable measures for a near-natural development and redesign of the watercourse were elaborated and presented.

In addition to the river bed, a potential watercourse development area on both sides was mapped intensively. Depending on local conditions, this area comprises 20-100 m.
