Water utility of Donauwörth Place
Burgau, Germany Type of services
The State of Bavaria, via the Donauwörth water management service, is building a flood retention basin on the Mindel to protect the town of Burgau. This largescale project includes a retention capacity of 1.4 million m³. The basin is based on a slightly curved dam dike, 1.5 km long and 6 m high, as well as on four dam structures with several fields to regulate the retention area. The objective is to reduce the flow from 135 m3/s to 65 m3/s.
The project also takes into account the constraints related to the adjacent railway line and the federal highway, which require careful management of the interfaces.
