Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Stream restoration measures in the Koningsdiep aim to create a larger habitat for the species present. The stream discharge was reduced through the creation of a meander, so that a culvert does not have to be closed to prevent downstream water damage. This culvert is important to ensure animals' ability to migrate in the area. A fish passage was created in the meander. Dead wood trunks and branches were introduced in the newly dug-out part to narrow the stream.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.

The meander has started to get overgrown because of the high nutrient load in the water. The water authority has chosen not to intervene yet, as they expect that this a temporary situation to which the stream will eventually adjust.
