The catchment has an area of 4.646 km2 (Gauge Kemmern) (Schaffhauser, T., 2017) and is characterized by an east-west slope reaching the highest elevations with 1042.99 m.a.s.l in the Fichtel Mountains. However, 75% of the area is located in lower elevations (Barth, et al., 2004). Soils with low storage capacity predominate (Schaffhauser, T., 2017) and the most common soil type is brown earth (Barth, et al., 2004). <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span>The largest part of the catchment area is used for agriculture and forestry with a proportion of 47.2 % and 43.2 % respectively, whereas 8.0 % of the area is sealed. The largest proportion of agricultural area (60.3 %) is not irrigated. The upper main has two springs (white and red main) and several tributaries (Schaffhauser, T., 2017). In addition to more than 350 mini-Hydropower Plants, one hydropower plant has a capacity &gt; 1MW (LfU,2023).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/retouch-nexus.eu\/?sdm_process_download=1&#038;download_id=4403663&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Learn more&#8230;&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#64c2ea&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Proza Libre|600|||||||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|2rem|10px|2rem|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|2rem||2rem|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|2rem||2rem|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;73121f80-a3ef-4484-8763-c3f18e3c56d2&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text quote_border_color=&#8221;#38b000&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;2c55a9c4-feed-423b-9edb-ae0b5b365cac&#8221; text_font=&#8221;&#8211;et_global_body_font|Proza Libre_weight|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|Proza Libre_weight|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#004b23&#8243; quote_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; quote_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;72px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.15em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_4_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_4_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_5_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_5_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_5_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_5_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; header_6_font=&#8221;Cormorant Garamond|Cormorant Garamond_weight|||||||&#8221; header_6_text_color=&#8221;#0e0c19&#8243; header_6_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;28px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;20px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;17px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_4_font_size_tablet=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_4_font_size_phone=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_4_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; header_5_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; header_5_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_5_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; header_6_font_size_tablet=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_phone=&#8221;13px&#8221; header_6_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of the public water supply is provided by groundwater (64.0 %), followed by spring water (16.1 %), surface water (18.6 %) and bank filtrate (1.4 %) (LfS, 2020).
