3 Climate change and floodplains Floods and draughts business as usual for floodplains Foto: T. Ehlert 6,5 m Backwater level close to the Danube, Ökon 1999 Foto: B. Felinks
4 Climate change and floodplains Foto: T. Ehlert Floodplains are highly adapted to hydrological and morphological changes Floodplains are hotspots of biodiversity and central elements of the ecological network Floodplain restoration is part of all adaptation strategies and an important element of the EbA But: Only ecologically functional floodplains perform adaptation, mitigation and resilience Foto: B. Felinks
5 Assessments overview Ecological Status of surface water bodies Structural Quality of surface water bodies Quality of Floodplains? Source: Water framework directive the way towards healthy waters, BMU/UBA 5/2010 Source: LAWA 2002 Source: BfN 2009
6 The status of river floodplains GIS based assessment of floodplains building up a consitent database germanwide data sets and technical data from the Länder e. g. flooding area protected areas data of habitats WFD data scale 1: homogenization of data
7 Loss of flooding area Status report of German floodplains Floodplains of larger rivers in the past covered about 15,000 km² 2/3 were lost by embankment At large parts of streams like Rhine, Elbe, Danube and Odra only 10-20% of the former floodplains can be flooded.
8 North Sea Status of active floodplains Baltic Sea Nearly natural (1 %) Status report of German floodplains Totally modified (20%) Slightly modified (9%) Moderately modified (36%) Severely modified (34%) more than 1/3 are intensively used ecologically functional floodplains less than 10% near-natural hardwood alluvial forests only about 1%
9 Baltic Sea North Sea River Main - loss of active floodplains: Status report of German floodplains River Main - status of active floodplains more than 1/3 are intensively used ecologically functional floodplains less than 10% near-natural hardwood alluvial forests only about 1%
