Murrtal water association
The Murrtal water association is supposed to provide flood protection in the valleys of the upper Murr and its tributaries.
Members of the association , founded in 2008, are the municipalities of Backnang , Murrhardt , Oppenweiler and Sulzbach in the Rems-Murr district in Baden-Württemberg .
The association is to build and maintain five retention basins with which floods, as they statistically occur once every 100 years (" HQ100 "), can be held back and diverted without damage. The largest of the planned basins with a capacity of 650,000 m³ is to be built between Rüflensmühle and Reichenbach an der Murr in the municipality of Oppenweiler, near the Oppenweiler / Murr gauge . The current river bed of the Murr is also to be relocated. For the also planned bypass of the federal highway 14 around Oppenweiler, the new road route is to be led on or on the new flood dam . This results in lower costs and uses less landscape.
In the course of the construction planning , the Stuttgart Regional Council presented a flood hazard map for an association area for the first time ever in Baden-Württemberg in February 2010 , which covers the entire river catchment area.
