Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


In Serquigny, the Charentonne is an urban river split into several strongly altered channels, due to hydropower production. The arm where the restoration works were carried out is fed by a weir upstream and underwent several dredging operations that left it overwidened, with a very low slope, morphologically homegeneous and affected by significant eutrophication. It is now located in a public garden of the town and within the Natura 2000 site "Risle, Guiel, Charentonne". The weir was restored in order to ensure a minimum flow of 300 L/s and a fish pass was installed. Accumulated fine sediments were extracted and used to create vegetated terraces, protected with bioengineerng techniques; a narrower, low flow channel was recreated, with higher slope.
