Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Stroomafwaarts van Döttekrö ontbreekt dynamiek in de Wilinkbeek omdat piekafvoer via Koppelleiding wordt afgevoerd. Veel trajecten hebben nog kunstmatig verhard talud en beekbodem als gevolg van puin en slakkenbestorting. Door deze puinbestorting weg te halen zal de beek een morfologisch afwisselende, kronkelende beek worden door bosstroken van tenminste 10 meter breed. Omdat erosie en sedimentatie vrij spel hebben, zulllen meanders, zandbanken en stroomkuilen zich vormen op telkens nieuwe plekken. De beek zal het grootste deel van het jaar afvoer hebben. Vanwege ligging in een vaak bosrijke omgeving hopen zich op rustige plekken in de beek bladeren, takken en boomstammen op. De beek is geheel optrekbaar voor vis.
