Flussabschnitten
Flussabschnitt is a term used in hydrology and river management to denote a defined stretch of a river. The plural Flussabschnitten refers to several such segments. Each Flussabschnitt is a contiguous portion of the river bounded by clearly defined points, which may be natural features (such as confluences or changes in river morphology) or artificial markers (gauge stations, locks, river kilometer markers). These boundaries provide standardized units for data collection, modeling, and decision-making across administrative borders.
A Flussabschnitt is typically described by its hydrological regime (seasonal flow variations and discharge), geomorphology (gradient
The concept supports coordination among municipalities, river authorities, and environmental agencies, especially in large river basins
