Millions for Carinthia's security: flood protection 2025 decided!

Bad Eisenkappel, Österreich - Investments in flood protection 2025

Today, on June 19, 2025, the Carinthian state government decided in a meeting a comprehensive package of measures for flood protection. This not only brings security, but also calm to the hearts of the population. Because when it comes to flooding, pension is the requirement of the hour. In total, investments of around 5.85 million euros will be made in 2025 to increase people's security in Carinthia and to react to the challenges of climate change.

In addition, the federal government will participate in the costs with around 2.5 million euros. The state of Carinthia also contributes around 2.18 million euros to the implementation of the projects. The focus is particularly on the flood protection project in Bad Eisenkappel and nine maintenance measures in the districts of Villach-Land, Feldkirchen and Wolfsberg. In Bad Eisenkappel, dams and flood protection walls are built in the Lauchen industrial estate to minimize the risk of flooding in HQ10 events. These investments clearly aim to protect the population and the infrastructure from the consequences of extreme weather events. 5min reports that ...

flood protection projects in several districts

The State Councilor Daniel Fellner emphasizes the importance of the comprehensive protective measures: almost 2 million euros are invested in further flood protection and maintenance projects. A central project concerns the Arndorfer Bach in Maria Saal and Magdalensberg, which protects against flood events with a hundred years of return. Here, solutions for improving the drain capacity are implemented by terrain corrections and dam buildings. All of these measures are necessary because the Arndorfer Bach currently has inadequate drainage options that have already led to flooding.

In addition, ten further maintenance projects in the districts of Villach-Land, Feldkirchen, Klagenfurt-Land and Spittal are planned. These include the removal of cosmopolitanism and outgoing outflow and the restoration of bank security measures. The creation of danger zon plans and a preliminary study to support the planning measures are also on the agenda. The entire investment volume is borne by the federal government, the country and the communities. ktn.gv.at announces that ...

climate change as a challenge for flood protection

Technical flood protection alone cannot offer absolute security. Climate change and the associated extreme weather events make a comprehensive risk management strategy essential. The last events, such as the flood disaster in the summer of 2021, have made it clear that the risk of flooding on steeps and grows in coastal varieties. It is all the more important for the communities to have precise data about possible flood events. The Federal Government therefore launched an immediate program for climate adjustment to support municipalities in improving their climate prevention. bundes- Government.de reports that ...

FAZIT: A good knack for the future

With the focus on intelligent and forward -looking planning, Carinthia and its communities can look better into the future. These joint efforts are crucial to meet the challenges of climate change and the requirements for flood protection.
