    Notre Mission

    By order of the Free State of Bavaria, the water management service of Donauwörth is implementing the flood retention basin on the Mindel to protect the town of Burgau. The basin has a retention capacity of 1.4 million m³. The implementation of the basin consists of a slightly curved dam embankment with a length of 1.5 km and a height of 6.0 m, as well as 4 multi-span dam structures for regulating the retention area. The flow rate is thus to be reduced from 135 m³/s to 65 m³/s. The adjacent railway line and the federal highway also constitute planning intersections.
