    Description of solution
    Summary (Challenges; Objectives)

    The Weißbach was highly regulated. To improve the ecological situation the water authority Kempten created a diversified structured brook bank with slow to fast flowing sections and differend water depths. The restored watercourse section shows different possibilities for structural and ecological upgrading of small watercourses and therefore is particularly qualified for educational use.
