in the sewage system

The sustainable improvement of flood prevention, flood protection and flood risk management in Dresden is a generational task. The Plan Flood Preparation Dresden (PHD), commissioned by the City Council in May 2004 and confirmed by decision of August 2010, follows a complex, territorial and cross-water approach. The state of play of the implementation of the measures at the Elbe, the United Weißeritz, the Lockwitzbach, the second-order waters, the groundwater as well as the wastewater system (canalisation) is regularly updated or documented and is permanently and publicly available in the theme city plan of the state capital Dresden. More than 200 individual measures, which were discussed in the text version of the Plan Flood Preparation Dresden in the version of Decision V0431/10 of 12.8.2010 (PHD 2010), are presented in the map “Measures of the Plan Flood Preparation 2010” (Map 4.32.2 of the Dresden Environmental Atlas, 1st edition). The measures of the PHD 2010 that are not further pursued are shown in grey in the map “Measures of the Plan Flood Preparation 2010” (Map 4.32.2 of the Dresden Environmental Atlas, 1st edition).
