River morphological monitoring LIFE+ Traisen
Abstract
The "LIFE+ Traisen" project – one of the largest LIFE+ projects in Europe – is entering new territory in several ways. The main goal was to create a new near-natural river outside its own alluvium. The former channel of the Traisen built in the 1980s and located in the alluvium of the Danube River showed a comparatively small slope due to the artificial extension of the river’s course. The new, highly sinuous river bed, situated in the coarse-grained alluvium of the Danube River with a slight gradient, is novel in terms of fluvial morphology and aquatic ecology. For this reason, a sound monitoring program is a necessary prerequisite for the long-term prognosis of the development of the new aquatic system. The planned monitoring of the morphological development of the new river bed is based on the higher-level monitoring concept presented in the UVE report US06.01 "Subject contribution to synthetic plants, animals, habitats" (pp. 87-89) and to that in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decision No. 76 on the operating and maintenance phase: After completion of the construction and flooding of the new Traisen river bed a river morphological monitoring is to be carried out to document the hydromorphological and aquatic ecological development. The "Detailed monitoring concept – fluvial morphology, phase 1 and phase 2" in the UVE (environmental impact declaration; E.S.03 "Complementary Processing Monitoring Concept") is to be used as the conceptual basis.
