Zukunftsfähiger Umgang mit Wasser im Raum

Water and land use management require integrated planning approaches and concerted actions by the actors involved. Challenges of global change as well as the water-related EU directives put new demands on water management planning, fl ood risk management, spatial planning and urban land-use planning. The traditional division of responsibilities between spatial planning and water management authorities (as well as other environmental planning authorities, especially nature conservancy) is proving increasingly inadequate. The interdisciplinary author group of practitioners and scientists discusses future tasks of both water management planning and spatial planning. Recommendations are given on how to develop joint planning and implementation strategies, link instruments, and coordinate planning processes. These recommendations are illustrated with practical examples.
