Acher-Rench-Korrektion, River engineering system in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The Acher-Rench-Korrektion spans 120 square kilometers between the Acher and Rench rivers, incorporating flood channels and water management structures.

Construction of this extensive water management project started in 1936 under the direction of Robert Wagner and continued until completion in 1967.

The project represents a major transformation of the regional landscape, involving 66 municipalities that contributed to its funding and development.

The engineering system protects settlements from floods, manages water drainage in previously swampy areas, and enables controlled irrigation throughout the region.

The total cost reached 55 million Deutsche Mark by 1968, equivalent to approximately 300 million euros in current value.
