The Inn is the energy source for VERBUND's hydropower plants in Bavaria. Its water provides huge amounts of clean electricity from renewable hydropower. This lightens the load on the climate and the environment. The backwater area between Rosenheim and Feldkirchen features numerous conservation areas and biotopes.
The possibilities for the renaturation of a large river like the Inn are therefore very limited. Attempts are therefore made to create as many alternative habitats for aquatic organisms as possible, in order to be able to replicate as many habitat requirements in the main river, floodplain waterbodies or bypass waterbodies as possible. More information on the measures can be found on the website of the Federal Environment Agency (German only).
