Flood and heavy rain prevention

Located on the Moselle and Saar, there is a known risk of flooding from river floods within the Konz association of municipalities. Even in the local communities located only on smaller streams and water systems, intense heavy rain events cause damaging flooding, flooded basements and impassable roads. These dangers are intensified by flash floods from the outskirts, which pour from the vineyards and hillsides into the built-up areas and onto the connecting roads, where they have a considerable potential for damage. Measures to avert danger have already been taken in the Konz association of municipalities in the past. Due to the floods that have occurred more frequently in recent years, also in places remote from the Moselle and Saar, the need for targeted precautionary measures against heavy rain events and flash floods is increasing.
