GOALS AND CONDITIONS • Safety: stabilizing critical water levels despite increase of design discharge of 1000 m3/s • Increase of spatial quality: – Socio-economic value – Ecological value – Aesthetic/ cultural value – Sustainability • Implementation in partnership between national and regional authorities • Completion deadline: 2015 • Put 2015 plan in perspective of long-term vision (2050+) • Strictly limited budget16-18 Novemberbillion Euros 21-11-2011 Ljubljana of 2.2 2011 WWF6 ECRR Seminar 15
