When peatlands are to be restored, various objectives can be pursued (e.g. climate protection, stabilization of the landscape water balance, increase in biodiversity). The pivotal point is the rewetting of the peatland, i.e. that the peatland or groundwater levels are permanently as close as possible (< 30 cm) to the ground surface. Numerical modeling is a suitable tool for assessing the general feasibility of rewetting and, in the further course of the project, for planning the necessary measures, first conceptually and later in detail. Once created, the model can accompany the project implementation and also support subsequent monitoring and success control.
