Abstract: “Wasserstadt Koepenick” should become a residential area with a marina and canals and a direct connection to river Dahme. Due to water quality problems, an exchange of the water of this artificial system with Dahme water should be ensured. The objective of the work was to apply a2D hydro-numerical model to design and optimize this artificial water system concerning the number, locations and discharges of various pumps. A favorite variant has been determined in an iterative way with five continuously discharging pumps (two in marina, one in each of the three canals), a mild slope and a continuous transition between canals and marina. The water exchange rates with river Dahme and the corresponding pump discharges leads to very small flow velocities in the range of several mm/s except the surroundings of the pumps. The bottom material, i. e. the bottom friction has a significant influence on the results.
