One of the RiverLinks project final goals is to promote the exchange of information between European cities that developed in different geographical contexts.
For this reason, each Partner has carried out a research on European cities that are interested in solving problems of the river-city relationship in the urban scope.
The contribution from
Dresden is based on the study of cases concerned with Cologne, Prague and Regensburg:

1. - Cologne -

Municipal Action Plan for Flood Protection - Cologne Flood Protection Plan

2. - Prague -

Flood Mapping in Prague - Part of the new Flood Protection Strategy in the Czech Republic

3. - Regensburg -

Flood Protection in Regensburg "The Flood Control in future"

Municipal Action Plan for Flood Protection - Cologne Flood Protection Plan

"The Cologne Flood Protection Plan is of overriding importance for planning in the city. It includes the principles, objectives and flood controls as well as the necessary resources for all fields of action combined. It presents valuable arguments for preventive flood protection and measures of regional policy and conservation.
It is not possible to protect Cologne without structural measures because of the historic growth of the city. The administration decided to use ecologically-friendly mobile flood protection systems to resolve this problem, for example the Aqua Barrier. These elements are constructed when the water rises and when the water level sinks they could be dismantled. So the "City-view" as well as the river area are only affected during floods ."

Flood Mapping in Prague - Part of the new Flood Protection Strategy in the Czech Republic

"DHI Hydroinform a.s. developed two simulation models for purposes of flood management in order to generate maps of flooded areas, with the maximum water level during one of the largest documented flood events in Prague (1890), which was close to HQ100 by its peak discharge (design flood for Prague). Mathematical modelling tools were used to obtain information about potential flood areas and the depths of water in these areas. Besides, much of the important information for land-use development, flood defence improvements and also information for planning and the future management of potential flood areas were obtained by mathematical simulation."

Flood Protection in Regensburg "The Flood Control in future"

"The analyses for the Bavarian Action Program 2020 showed that the activation of retention areas with 30 Mio. m3 in the basin area of the Danube river would have very little effect on the flood risk situation in Regensburg (at best a 10-20 cm lower water level). So the flood control methods in Regensburg are based on technical and structural protection measures and better flood prevention.
Flood protection planning in Regensburg by public and municipal authorities has a long tradition."
