Following the construction of a new type of retention basin in Breitenwaida, in the municipality of Hollabrunn, as part of the “Landsed” project funded by the province of Lower Austria, further monitoring of the basin is to take place between 2025 and 2027 in order to evaluate its retention effect on runoff and sediment.
Permanent monitoring of the retention basin will provide insights into soil erosion in an intensively farmed catchment area and enable a detailed analysis of the settling behavior of the solids entering the basin.
