The main objectives of this project are to identify and evaluate the hydromorphological contribution of water retention in preserved and restored floodplain systems across various geomorphological settings, evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of the floodplain enlargement on large rivers
as a non-structural measure of flood risk reduction in the flood risk management from the ecological view and the investigation of the social acceptance of such non-structural measures.
The transformation in a general methodology is aimed for on the basis of varying boundary conditions in different study reaches in Austria, Germany and France. The benefits and disadvantages of the floodplain enlargement are compared with each other and considered in comparison with technical measures. In particular the restoration of floodplains as a contribution for the achievement of a "good ecological status" respectively a "good ecological potential" of the river in the sense of the European Union Water Framework Directive will be examined. One important aspect will be the perception of different actors / organized participants in the context of floodplain preservation and restoration.
