Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

De Beekloop is voor het grootste deel gegraven door de mens en ontspringt in de bossen tussen Aalst en Hezen en uitkomt in de Kleine Dommel ter hoogte van natuurgebied Hulsterbroek. De waterloop ligt bij de overgang van het Kempisch plateau in België tot een lager gelegen gebied in Noord-Brabant, wat resulteert in een relatief groot bodemverhang. De beekloop is betrokken geweest bij vele beekherstel projecten tussen 2010 en 2015, waarbij sommige projecten geclassificeerd kunnen worden als traditioneel beekherstel (TB) en sommige projecten met de focus op Bouwen met Natuur (BmN).

Een van de belangrijkste bouwen met Natuur werkzaamheden die hier zijn uitgevoerd, is het storten van dood hout. Daarnaast is ook specifieke flora geplaatst om de stroming te verbeteren.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

Behalve de gebruikelijke hydrologische, biologische en fysisch-chemische kwaliteit elementen, zijn er ook chemische metingen gedaan. De beek was voor de werkzaamheden erg vervuild, daardoor is er een zware metalen onderzoek gedaan, microverontreinigingen en bestrijdingsmiddelen zijn gemonitord.
