Wolterdingen Flood Retention Basin

The flood retention basin is intended to improve the flood protection on the Breg and the Danube. It will significantly reduce the flood peaks of the 100-year flood. It is a dry pool that is filled only at high tide. The possible storage capacity of the basin is 4.7 million m³. The storage area will then be 70 ha in size. The client is the state of Baden-Württemberg.The dam is slightly curved and has a height of 18 m above the water bottom. The dam is built for fish consistently. These should be able to swim at normal water level through one of three passages, the so-called eco-scrolls.
