Project goals

• Improved river engineering and navigation by
  flood prevention measures and technical design,
  contributing to the implementation of the
  transnational Rhine Action Plan.
• Improved nature and environment development e.g.
  creating liveable space (sustainable
  multi-functional land use) by elaborating the
  multiple land use concept into nature development
  strategies and into territorial planning
  policies.
• Enhanced social action and communication e.g.
  setting up a transnational co-operation network
  of responsible authorities (to support also other
  projects in the future) as well as creating a
  cross-sectoral network for flood management.

• Combine planning and implementation experiences
• To exchange/transfer know-how and experiences
  between partners on a concrete and practical
  level
• To reach common solutions for the issues
  addressed
• To engage national, regional and local
  authorities and organsiations, representatives of
