Description

Watercourse development projects are measures on watercourses that can pursue the following objectives in particular:

• flood protection for built-up areas and infrastructure facilities
• Improvement of water ecology (near-natural development projects)
• Improvement of biological passability

The Free State of Bavaria, represented by the Water Management Offices, is responsible for watercourse development on first-order watercourses (generally large watercourses), second-order watercourses and torrents. For third-order watercourses (usually small watercourses), the municipalities are generally responsible.
