Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Overijssels kanaal is a regional channel that discharges into the river IJssel. The water authority Drents Overijsselse Delta created more structural variation in this stream to improve its ecological quality and meet WFD criteria. The banks were divided into a green and a blue zone. In the blue zone, vegetation was regularly removed to ensure flow continuity. In the green zone, vegetation is removed less regularly and in a way that contributes to a varied flow structure. In the Overijssels kanaal, reed is removed in the summer months. Additonally, fish passages have been created.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

Vegetation development is monitored by FLORON. In the Overijssel kanaal, reed removal has created opportunities for the development of calamus and yellow iris. Macroinvertebrates are monitored at 3-4 locations per stream as part of a regional project in the Marswetering, Overijssels Kanaal and Beentjesgraven. The overall ecological quality ratios of the three streams have improved.
