Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Water authority Vechtstromen has done several things to make the Oude Bornschebeek more natural. The stream was made narrower in several places, a meandering trajectory was designed and fish passages were created. This site was used as an experiment for building with dead wood. Half-cut trees were introduced into the stream.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.


The stream is monitored every three years to check its compliance with WFD criteria. It is also routinely monitored for other purposes.
