When the flood experts from the State Office for the Environment (LfU) and the Ministry of the Environment travel to Neuburg am Inn (Passau district) this Wednesday and a day later to Vogtareuth (Rosenheim district) and present the new “Potential study for flood protection measures on the Inn and Salzach” there, That sounds like an appointment for insiders. Not even close. Because the “Inn Study,” as the hundreds-of-page work is abbreviated, has the potential to divide the two regions for years to come. The scientists from the Technical University of Munich, the Technical University of Vienna and the University of Kassel, who created it, formulate it very carefully and carefully. But the conclusion is clear: If the state government wants to protect the population in the region around Wasserburg in Upper Bavaria and in the Passau area from extreme Inn flooding, it should support the construction of two gigantic retention basins near Vothareuth and near Inzing in Lower Bavaria in the area of the A 3 check.
