Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Hooge Raam is a tributary of the Lage Raam stream. It is a fast-flowing stream in a mostly natural area. After deepening and weir construction, the waterway had become too wide and too deep for its discharge. Fifteen years ago, maintenance was suspended. A new bed was dug out, in which the stream was allowed to meander. In parts of the stream, dead branches and trunks were introduced. In other parts, trees were planted along the banks to provide shade.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

The outlet of the stream has become richer in great manna grass and sludge. The stream remains within its planned meandering zone. The lower temperature proves suitable for species that prefer higher flow velocities, like fish and dragonflies.
