Kaiserslautern basin, renaturisation of the Glan, Schwarzbach, Mohrbach, Weißer Graben und Neuwoogbach
The water way renaturisation on the Glan, Schwarzbach, Mohrbach, Weißer Graben und Neuwoogbach was specified as an overall compensation strategy for the natural environment of the Kaiserslautern basin. Together with the final planning, igr compiled the documentation for the required water law authorisations. In doing so, igr considered the impact on animals, plants, soil, water, climate, landscape/leisure activities and on people; and prepared a general area analysis.
igr focussed the planning in particular on the positive effects on the downstream flow (back flow/waterlogging, current speed, flow) and water morphology – in line with the specifications of the European water framework directive. To create available land, a simplified land-consolidation process was carried out, supported by igr.
In this connection, igr also put together documentation to exempt this project from the constraints of the environmental compatibility test (with respect to § 3, Abs. 2).
