Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Straußfurt, Flood retention basin in Straußfurt, Germany.
The Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Straußfurt features a complex system of spillways and controlled drain outlets that regulate water flow during high precipitation periods.
The facility underwent substantial modernization in 2021 when Tractebel Hydroprojekt conducted extensive planning services to address structural deficiencies in the existing infrastructure.
The basin represents German engineering excellence in water management, demonstrating the national commitment to protecting communities through advanced infrastructure solutions.
The retention basin functions through automated systems that monitor water levels and adjust flow rates, requiring minimal human intervention during flooding events.
Recent improvements increased the water retention capacity by 10 million cubic meters through raising the full water level target by one meter.
