Abstract
Flood prevention and nature conservation are often considered not to be compatible. The Weißeritz catchment (eastern Erzgebirge, Saxony, Germany) was heavily affected by floods in August 2002. In response to this event, the German Environmental Foundation (Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, DBU) funded the project ‘Flood Prevention and Nature Conservation in the Weißeritz Area’ (HochNatur) which aimed to design measurements integrating both flood prevention and nature conservation.
