Overview
- City council approval clears the way for two regulatory structures at the Eiskanal to keep international canoe slalom events viable and to support Munich’s prospective Olympic bid.
- Construction is planned over four to five years, with the €3.5 million budget partially offset by anticipated state and federal contributions.
- The city is postponing electrical pumping solutions used at other venues, noting pumps could be added later on top of the new infrastructure.
- Residents in the Textilviertel fear lower water levels in the Proviantbach on dry days, while officials say practical effects should remain limited.
- A feasibility study is assessing how diverting water to the course would affect the urban canal system and hydropower operations, including possible compensation.
