Flood protection

Read aloud

In principle, the responsibility for flood protection lies with the competent authority, which is responsible for the affairs of the local community, urban land use planning and hazard prevention.

River basin-related, conceptual planning in flood protection as the basis of functional services of general interest is carried out by the state. In addition, the state supports the competent authority in its projects by providing existing planning data.

As a result of historical development, dike associations have been formed on the large bodies of water such as the Elbe, Weser, Unteraller and partly also on the Ems, which have their basis in the Water Association Act and the Lower Saxony Act (NDG).

Construction projects in floodplains are generally prohibited. In strictly limited exceptional cases, an exemption may be granted.

Planning principles

The inland flood protection measures are carried out on the basis of conceptual planning as well as plans of the associations (dike associations, water and soil associations) and municipalities. Corresponding flood protection plans are available for raising and strengthening the dikes on the Elbe, the Middle Weser and the Unteraller. These are already based on the recommendations of the Conference of Environment Ministers for sustainable and forward-looking flood protection.

Financing of flood protection measures

The state grants financial support to associations and municipalities from the joint task "Improvement of Agricultural Structure and Coastal Protection" (GAK) on the basis of the respective funding principles. In addition, EU funds (EAFRD and ERDF) are made available. The Lower Saxony State Agency for Water Management, Coastal Protection and Nature Conservation (NLWKN) is responsible for inclusion in the above-mentioned funding programmes.
