- Resumen
- Like most of the larger rivers in middle Europe sections of the Isar, flowing from the Alpsdown to theDanube,werecanalisedmorethan hundredyearsago,to improvefloodcontroland the use of hydropower. The floods in the last two decades showed the needs to improve flood protection and accelerated the discussions about more nature and outdoor recreation along the rivers. The basic for restoration projects are regional river concepts. They contain the guidelines for local restoration project and also for the measurements program as part of the management plan, asked by the EU-Water Framework Directive. A restoration project requires teamwork, needs ecological understanding, technical knowledge in hydraulics /construction and social acceptance. Engineers, architects and experts of different fields (e.g. ecology, urban planning, nature conservation, wildlife, agriculture,forestry andfishery)areworkingtogethertofindwin-win-solutions.Such projectshaveto be supported by the public e.g. engaged Non Governmental Organisations (NGO¿s). The case study Isar includes projects in the city of Munich (8 km) and outside in the rural floodplains (100 km); it describes planning steps, the restoration measurements to improve flood control, ecology and outdoor recreation andthemainobjective:bringingback thealpinecharacteroftheIsarby allowingagain the hydro morphological processes.
