Near Pottenbrunn, the Traisen River underwent comprehensive revitalization as part of a water management pilot project. The aim was to restore the river's natural structure and improve its connectivity for aquatic life. This involved redesigning weirs, constructing near-natural bypass channels and fish ladders, and widening the riverbed. Banks were flattened and ecologically enhanced through the creation of side channels, islands, and shallow water zones. These measures not only improved the river's ecological condition but also promoted natural flood retention areas and enhanced the landscape and recreational opportunities along the Traisen.
