The Trient: balancing flood protection and biodiversity
Vernayaz – Nant de Drance SA is implementing 14 environmental compensation measures in connection with the construction of its pumped storage power plant. These include ecological restoration and flood protection on part of the Trient watercourse at Vernayaz. The first phase of the work – enlarging the Trient – is a key step in the flood control programme. Following the flooding in the canton of Valais in November 2023, which was caused by a rise in the levels of several watercourses including the Trient, the municipalities of Vernayaz and Martigny are welcoming this project. It aligns with their commitment to address flood protection for the local population as an urgent priority.
