The riverine zone
The various cantons in Switzerland have been called upon by the Swiss Federal Council to demarcate a protected littoral zone around and along all of their lakes, rivers and streams. EBP was commissioned by the Canton of Zurich to help it communicate the new littoral zone regulations to municipalities and the public.
These two animated explainer movies were made for the Office of Waste, Water, Energy and Air (AWEL) of Canton Zurich, Switzerland. They explain the dos, don’ts and hows around a new riverine zone that has to be defined for any water body. We created the map of a fictional village to explain how this riverine zone can be handled and what landowners can and can’t do in the zone. Several cross section views explain how the zone is measured. To lighten up this two quite technical explainer movies there are some more emotional scenes that show the benefits of the riverine zone for the community.
Explainer 1: How far does the protected littoral zone extend from the water’s edge?
Explainer 2: What regulations apply within protected littoral zones?
