Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

The Buulder Aa is connected to the Grote Aa, Bosloop and Strijpe Aa, all of which are small lowland streams on a sandy substrate. Dead wood packages were introduced at several locations in the stream. This tends to increase variation in streamflow and substrate, which often promotes biodiversity.
