Brief description of Project Background

Geology: The river Liesing lies in the south of the City of Vienna, close to the city border, it leads through the small town Schwechat after leaving Vienna and then merges with river Schwechat. The river Liesing has two souces, the “Dürre Liesing” and the “Reiche Liesing”in the west of Vienna. While the Dürre Liesing arises from a limestone area, the Reiche Liesing arisies from the flysch limbestone area of the Wienerwald, which makes the river grow rapidly in case of heavy rainfall. In Vienna both rivers merge and have shaped the landscape through meanders, deposition of sediments and erosion.
