The “Tirelbaach” is causing floodings in the municipality of Bettendorf

In the event of torrential rains, or when it rains for a long time without interruption, the “Tirelbaach” quickly emerges from its bed, where many basements are often flooded. DP MPs André Bauler and Luc Emering asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity whether the Water Management Authority had already carried out studies to find out whether there are possibilities for retention and renaturation to stem flooding, and what the results showed, why nothing concrete has yet come out of it and whether there are any problems with buying land.

Question

„Et ass bekannt, datt d’Tirelbaach, déi duerch den alen Deel vun der Uertschaft Gilsdref an der Gemeng Bettenduerf leeft, zimmlech séier aus hirem Bett klëmmt, wann et wärend Stonnen an engem Stéck reent oder am Fall vun engem « Sturzregen » (« pluie torrentielle »).

D’Waasser leeft da bis an den Zentrum vu Gilsdref (Haaptstrooss) eran, sou datt etlech Kelleren iwwerschwemmt ginn. D’Waasserwirtschaftsamt ass « au courant » vun där Situatioun an huet och schonn eng Versammlung zu deem Probleem gehal.

An deem Kader wollte mir dem Här Minister fir Ëmwelt, Klima a Biodiversitéit follgend Froe stellen:

1. Huet d’Waasserwirtschaftsamt scho Studien duerchgefouert fir erauszefannen, ob et Retentiouns- a Renaturéierungsméiglechkeeten am Dall vun der Tirelbaach gëtt, fir d’Iwwerschwemmungen zu Gilsdref anzedämmen ? Wa jo, wat sinn d’Schlussfollgerungen, déi aus dëser Studie gezu gi sinn?

2. Firwat konnt bis dato nach näischt Konkretes an deem Beräich an d’Wee geleet ginn? 3. Ginn et eventuell Probleemer beim Kaf vun Terrainen?“
