Rationale
- Why do you think this case is relevant? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape challenges?
- Format: 3-4 sentences
Location and scope
You can edit this map with the map editor
Water as a natural system
Geomorphology, typologies and dynamics of water areas
- Describe the water areas of your area in the contxt of the wider water system
In Germany, the Neckar river flows through the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg, with smaller banks through Hesse. It is 362 kilometers long and 706 meters (2,316 feet) above sea level.It rises in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) near Schwenningen am Neckar, near the Danube River's headwaters.It flows through Nürtingen before discharging an average of 145 m3/s of water into the Rhine at Mannheim, where it is 95 m (312 ft) above sea level.
- How does water appear in the landscape of your living lab? What types of water areas are common?
The main attraction for our living lab is the Neckar river. Since Nürtingen is located on the Neckar River, the main goal of our lab is to connect the Neckar River with the people.The Neckars River flows from the edge of the Swabian Jura (Schwäbische Alb) to Tübingen, Nürtingen, and a few other small towns.Aside from the Neckar, other rivers include the Tiefenbnach Steinach, Aich, Marbach, and Aischenbach.They are Neckar river branches.The most common water sources in our living lab are flowing water such as rivers, tributaries, and standing water such as lakes.
- Please identify the water bodies' catchment areas, tributaries and floodplains
Nürtingen's main river is the Neckar river.Aside from the Necakar river and its tributaries, there are four lakes: Oberer Fischersee, Unterer Fischersee, Beutwangsee, and Tiefen-loch-see in Nürtingen.The catchment area or river basin of Necakr is 13,928 km2. Flood is the most frequently discussed topic in our living lab. Since Nürtingen is located near the Neckar river, some areas are prone to flooding. Some residential, commercial, and industrial settlements can be observed in floodplain areas. The municipality of Nürtingen has some flood management schemes in place, such as flood protection zones and dams to drain water.Aside from that, our primary concern is how to manage the flood and use this threat (food) as an opportunity ( flood water for irrigation).
- Which dynamics do these water areas have?
- Have there been any flood events in the past?
In Nürtingen, there are four flood events. In the years 1926, 1978, 1990, and 2013. The most severe flood in the Neckar area occurred in October 1824, among others. The estimated return period for an HQ4000 is 4000 years.
- add 2-3 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Flood-prone areas of Nürtingen
Settlements in flood-prone areas
Water as a living space
- Which habitats can be found in and along the water areas of your area?
- How is the water quality in your water areas?
- Which areas are still natural, which are urbanised/artificial?
- Are the rivers permeable for fish or blocked by artificial elements?(approx 200 signs)
- add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

Blue and Green Infrastructure
- What are the major potential elements of a green/blue infrastructure network? Are these likely to change/disappear? Why is that?
- You find my background material on green infrastructure in our reading list
- add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like
Green Infrastructure in Nürtingen
Blue Infrastructure in Nürtingen
Water as a cultural space
Land use and water
- Some ecosystem services we found along the river are: Regulation services: Water, soil and air quality; Soil Erosion; Lake protection; Natural regulation...etc. Cultural services: Green recreations; Natural heritage; Flora and fauna...etc. Provisioning services: Water drinking; Water for other uses; Food; Energy production...etc. Supporting services: Life cycle; Biodiversity...etc.
- One of the potentials we could have from the Neckar river is: energy production. Nürtingen has 2 hydroelectric power plants in the Neckar river that have a limited potential of growth and they could produce 5850,79 MWh / year and one control structure that could produce 53,06 MWh / year. This limited potential of growth is mainly because of the settlements surrounding the power plants
- map the land uses along your water areas: settlements, infrastructure, agriculture, resource extraction, natural areas, energy production...
- describe in particular the historical evolution of land use pattern, please make use of historical maps
- description evolution, status quo and driving forces, is the land use likely to change? Why is that? (approx 200 signs)
- add 1-2 graphical representations to the image gallery, you can add more if you like

- What is the role of water areas within the overall urban morphology? (approx 200 signs)

Community Mapping
What is to be mapped here? Our community consists of many people and organizations their main concern is how can they benefit from their landscape, and how can it enhance their quality of life.
- Locals: They are the primary beneficiaries of the area and the major influencers in the area they consist of: Kids , Elders, Students, Working Class and Youth. They exist eveywhere in our landscape but powerless in comparison to other members. We could: Ask them for feedbacks; Arrange some meetings with them; Try and connect them to the landscape so that we could get feedbacks from them; Try and build a non physical connection with them; Ask for professional input in the project.
- Buisness owners: They are important in the landscape because they hold huge benefit from the area and they are the one offering their services to the locals. They consist of: Small buisnesses, Shop owners, Beer Garden, Coffee houses , Clubs. Their power is linked to their business so when designing we shouldn't affect their business badly. They are located only in their business areas which means they are spreaded accross the city and they are close to the river but in multiple small areas distributions. We could: Ask them for feedbacks; Arrange some meetings with them; See how can we make them benificiate from the landscape for their businesses; Trying and build non physical connection with them; Ask them for future collaboration and if needed some financing.
- Municipality and state: They are the controlers of the area, the law gives them power to do so and they are the most powerful influencers in the area. They consist of: Municipality, State and representatives. Their power is absolut because they hold the control over the city but we shouldn't forget that their role is to help the community have a better life. They are the less distributed actors in the city, their number isn't great but their power on the other hands isn't limited on an area. We could: Ask them for feedbacks; Arrange some meetings with them; See what are their vision for the water landscape in Nürtingen; Trying and build non physical connection with them; Ask them for futur collaboration and if needed some financing.
- NGOs: They are the helpers, they help people get a better look at their problems and how they solve them. They consist of: Urban Gardens, Charity works, Associations. Their power is beset to help others and motivate them to change. So in this, their power reigns. They are distibuted in small areas separately but their power less than that of Business owners. We can see them all accross the city. We could also: Ask them for feedbacks;Arrange some meetings with them; See how we can facilitate their work by enhancing the landscape; Trying and build non physical connection with them; Ask them for futur collaboration; We could also adopt their vision.
