Flood risk or more safety?
July 15, 2025
Press review: an article in the Darmstädter Echo
Streams such as the Seeheimer Elsbach flow predominantly in pipes in the municipal area – unlike in Bickenbach, for example. Where they flow openly, they eventually disappear into a pipe again. And the entrances are usually barred. This is to prevent children from crawling in while playing and putting themselves in danger. However, in the event of heavy rainfall, the water levels in the streams can rise sharply and branches, trunks and undergrowth can then collect in front of the entrances and block them. The consequences can be devastating.
