Project summary
The Osink-Bemersbeek is a tributary of the river Boven Slinge. It flows through a largely agricultaral area, with small patches of bank-lining vegetation. The stream yearly dries up in dry periods. The river system already has a rather good ecological quality, although it still suffers from a high nutrient load. The water authority plans to restore the entire river system to its fully meandering origins, with wide wooded buffer strips. In order to improve the ecological quality of this stream, more trees were planted on the banks and packages of dead wood were introduced by the side of the stream.
