!!!Marchfeldkanal

Marchfeld Canal, Lower Austria: To prevent the ground water level in 
the  Marchfeld region from sinking further (decline of 50 cm annually 
in both 1983 and 1984), the building of an interconnected water 
network based on the natural surroundings commenced in 1983. At the 
market town of Langenzersdorf water is branched off from the Danube 
and distributed into the Marchfeld via Russbach stream, 
Obersiebenbrunn canal and Stempfelbach stream near Deutsch-Wagram, 
where an infiltration system has been installed and the Stempelbach 
stream integrated into the canal Direct uptake and groundwater 
enrichment at several sites relieve the ground water system. The 
Marchfeld Canal is considered an outstanding example of water 
management which takes into account ecological considerations.
