Other water protection forest

Description

Water protection forest secures and improves the quality of groundwater as well as standing and flowing surface waters. The water storage capacity of forest soils largely prevents near-surface drains and flood peaks and ensures a steady flow of water in periods of low rainfall. At the same time, the risk of flood damage and erosion is minimized. The database mainly comprises non-legally binding water management plans (planned protected areas under water law, groundwater conservation areas, priority areas, etc.).
