Sediments, ecosystem services and interrelation with floods and droughts in the AT-CZ border region

The river Thaya forms the border between Austria and the Czech Republic and both countries profit from its usage (e.g. energy production, recreation, fishery). This has negative effects on the river system, like the canalisation and the separation of flood areas. This leads to a change in the sediment transport and thus creates problems with the sedimentary deposition and an increased danger of floods. The separation of meanders leads to an aggravation of the ecological system and the aquatic habitats, and have a negative influence on the biodiversity. Together with floods and droughts, inten…
