MinHorLam combines hydrological, limnological, technical, ecological, agricultural and natural science knowledge together with insights from social science in order to explain,

1. to what extend and with which effect non-strutural measures (like changes in crop rotation, reduced tillage, afforestation, zoning of agricultural areas prone to flood risk, preventative premature harvesting based on a early warning system etc.) mitigate the risk of floodwater events occuring and
2. which effect problem anticipation and risk assessment of the different actors in flood management have on the implementation of the measures named above.

Using a participative approach the findings of the study will undergo a transdisciplinary evaluation so that crucial points for improved flood prevention in agriculture can be identified.
