Project summary
The Linde is originally a slowly flowing lowland stream on a sandy substrate. The stream has changed because of straightening, normalization and bank stabilising measures. To meet WFD criteria, abandoned meanders are being dug out and spillways are created to lead the water through the channel. In addition, the mowing regime will be changed to main channel mowing. This is supposed to increase the presence of aquatic plants. Maintenance is reduced to the minimum that is required to prevent the waterway from getting clogged by sediment. The proper timing of maintenance will be determined visually.
