Abstract: The Lahn project is one of about 150 projects, which is worked on in the frame of the EU-program “INTERREG IIC Rhine-Meuse-Activities (IRMA)”. Based on the strategies and proceedings directions, which were published by the Landerarbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser (LAWA) in 1995, a concept for decentral flood defence for the Hessian river Lahn is developed. The hydrological effectivity will be computed for the systems conditions and three development scenarios. Based on this, a design proposal will be worked out, which, in turn, is going to be put in concrete terms for eight sub-and three example-projects.
