Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


The Eefse Beek water body is classified as a river under the WFD system. It is an R5 category water body: slow-flowing middle/lower reach on sand. The entire Eefse Beek is managed by water authority Rijn en IJssel. The water body is located in the province of Gelderland, municipality Lochem. It is 12,1 km long and has a catchment of 4080 hectares. The water body is composed of the Eefse Beek and its tributaries, the Molenbeek and Huurnerbeek. The water body originates in its own catchment and discharges into the river IJssel via the Twentekanaal. Water levels in the Eefse Beek are managed with three adjustable weirs. None of these weirs are passable for fish. In the Eefse Beek water body, a single water level is pursued for each managed stretch. The Eefse Beek carries water all year, with an occasional dry period in summer. There are no sewage treatment plants present in its catchment.
