Abstract: At the Upper Rhine in Germany and France more than 25 retention rooms have to be built to reduce the floodwater level in the Rhine. In this paper, the strategy for finding solutions for the Rhine is explained. Three projects are described which cause very different costs in relation to the effect, measured by the capacity of the retention room. Advice is given on how to create projects with low costs and high efficiency. It also shows the land acquisition in Germany. The project management and its efforts during the planning and the implementation phase of projects are described.
