Water bodies play a central role as an element of the landscape. While research has so far concentrated purely on the ecological parameters of water bodies, the Institute for Landscape Management at Freiburg University also attempts to include the cultural and historical aspects. In this way, artificially-created water bodies and stretches of water that have been strongly altered by human activity can be examined from the perspective of their ecological value, as well as by their contribution to habitat quality.
