Goals of La Bassee case:

• Implementation of a hydraulic project to reduce flood peaks within the framework of a spatial development project in the Seine river basin.
• Temporary storage of water will be constructed in La Bassee and will reduce flood damage. At the planned storage location, a flexible future land use is possible, such as gravel extraction, agriculture, tourism, leisure activities, and ecological zones.
• The La Bassee project is an important national and international example to demonstrate the compatibility between the diversity and importance of uses.
