Aare Flood Protection Project (Olten–Aarau)

Highlight • River

Floods are part of the natural character of rivers. Due to the increasing settlement near water and the more intensive use of underground floors, the damage potential has increased significantly in recent years. Alone along the Aare between Olten and Aarau and along the course of the Emme on the Solothurn Canton area could in extreme cases damage of more than 900 million francs occur. It therefore needs measures that improve the protection of people and the protection of significant assets.

Flood protection and upgraded waters as destination
Creeks and rivers are now channel-like over long distances, flowing along fortified shores or even underground. There is a lack of natural flood plains to support the flood and generally enough space for the waters. The ravages of recent years have shown it - rivers do not love tight corsets. The water legislation of the federal government and the canton therefore stipulates that flood protection must no longer be carried out solely by means of obstruction; more space is to be made available to the watercourses. Due to the dense population, the scarce soil and the ownership, however, the desired space requirement can not always be implemented.

Projects on the Aare between Olten and Aarau
The floods in Niederamt in 2005 and 2007 have clearly shown that several settlement areas are not adequately protected against the floods of the Aare. First measures in the Niederamt - dams of about 3.5 km in length - are preferred. Further measures are part of the following overall project. Since 2014 is being built.
