FloodRisk

Came up with Flood analyses 2002 Focus: adaptation towards flood events Geographical focus: Danube (and tributaries)

catchment 45 small projects in 10 different WPs Most of the projects already existed No requests for proposals Over one million EURO funding was provided

by two Austrian ministries (BMLFUW and BMVIT) and one Swiss organisation (DEZA)

FloodRisk II – planning phase

FloodRisk II is now going towards implementation of flood protection measures in the10 fields/WPs

Not sure yet how cooperation between Austrian provinces and the Federal government will function

FloodRisk might be an interesting programme for CIRCLE as well as for CRUE for some flood-specific activities within the field of adaptation cp. later
