Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the Linth canal project unlawfully reduced the existing flood-protection capacity contrary to Art. 4 WBG.
Decisione estratta
The project does not reduce the canal's flood-protection capacity; the complaint under Art. 4 WBG fails.
Motivazione estratta
The relevant capacity is determined by the entire built stretch and by its lowest dam sections, not by the highest sections or an assumed original ideal configuration. The appellants did not disprove the cantonal findings that the project improves stability and achieves the required discharge capacities.
