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 Florence is based on the study of cases concerned with Vienna and Budapest:

Danube Island

"The new construction divides the Danube into main stream and New Danube and is operated only in case of floods. In periods without flooding, two further weirs guarantee horizontal water levels in the New Danube so that it acquires a lake-like character. The New Danube also has a system of secondary dams. The essential elements are the flood protection dam on the left bank of the New Danube, the "Right Danube Dam" on the right bank of the Danube and the confinement dams of the port facilities. In the case of a flood, maximally 14,000 m3/sec can be drained off without damage."
