The Integrated Danube Programme is a holistic concept that takes into account flood protection and ecology in equal measure. Measures for renaturation are used for flood protection and appropriately designed technical flood protection often improves ecology. Under the motto "Danube Habitat: Preserving-Developing" the IDP is intended to protect people from the floods of the Danube and develop the habitat of the Danube as a natural and cultural heritage. In the IDP, the Danube of Baden-Württemberg Viewed as a whole. Individual projects such as flood protection measures, renaturation measures, the construction of fish ladders and bypass channels or the designation of nature reserves are seen in the context of an improvement of the entire Danube water system and listed in an overall view of the IDP.
