„Only the one who talk to each other are capable to implement successful projects “. The River Dialogue takes this testimony as granted. It is a highly qualified method with a strong regional and individual approach. So far, the dialogues managed to inform the stakeholders as well as the broad public of the specific river catchment and to raise consciousness and even more a better understanding for the hydrological measures in place respectively foreseen for the future. The 11th dialogue starting in July 2012; this dialogue is also the first international River Dialogue where the public of two states, Bavaria (Germany) and Salzburg (Austria) will discuss the measures to be taken for the river Untere Salzach, which forms the border between both states. All citizens will be invited to discuss their personal future vision for the river. It does not occur by chance that the River Dialogue is highly respected. On one hand the relationship to the „personal“river is generally high. On the other hand the process elements were considered precisely and evaluated throughout the range of the dialogues up to now: as first step the stakeholders – like representatives of water management departments, fishery and nature conservation – present their plans for the future shape and structure of the river. In the second phase the citizens of the overall river catchment are invited to take positions within an online-inquiry. The third step is set by a local conference – the real dialogue – between public, regional stakeholders and representatives of the water management units of the ministry and the particular federal states.
