    Description of solution
    Summary (Challenges; Objectives)

    Between the two world wars the Isen was developed and regulated according to purely technical aspects. The course of the river was straightened, the meandering arches were punctured and cut off. Many of these former river loops were filled in and only a few remained as old water. To improve the ecological situation and the flood protection additional flood retention areas were created, the gradient was reduced and the flowline was extended. 

    Technical characteristics

    Reduction of the gradient from 0,72 ‰ to 0,56 ‰, additional flood retention area ca. 40.000 m², Extension of the flowline from 880 m to 1125 m, land acquisition of 5 hectare
