Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


De Astense Aa was een rechte beek met steile oevers. Door deze eigenschappen wordt water snel afgevoerd. Dit zorgt voor wateroverlast bij extreme neerslag en voor droogte in periodes waarin het weinig regent. Dit is geen ideale situatie. Daarnaast was de situatie ook niet zo aantrekkelijk voor planten en dieren. Daarom richt het waterschap Aa en Maas de Astense Aa in fases opnieuw in.
