The flood risk management directive (directive 2007/60/CE) consider the development of flood risk management plans as an appropriate tool to prevent or reduce the adverse effects of flood events. The focus is particularly on prevention, protection and precautions. The catalog of measures drawn up for Luxembourg corresponds in its structure and basic statements to the German LAWA catalog of measures.

The hydromorphological status was determined by a monitoring compliant with the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EU). The elaboration of a structural quality mapping is one part of this monitoring. Within the scope of the work on the structural quality mapping, a total of 31 parameters in the area of the river bed, the river bank and the floodplain are assessed so that the structural quality mapping contains detailed information on the river morphology and the river continuity. In this case, the evaluation of the mapped sections is based on five classes. The areas river bed, left river bank, right riverbank, left floodplain and right floodplain are represented in 5 strips.
