Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


This project aimes to improve the habitat conditions of fast-growing sea trout (salmo trutta) in the Grobruelva river in the Lier municipality (Viken). They are impaired by re-routing of side arms, regulation of the main channel and pollution (roads and agriculture). First measures to counter pollution have been implemented (new pipe for sewage runoff). Habitat improving measures are planned, but have not been conducted yet. More information is expected soon and will be updated.

Monitoring



Reasons for river restoration

Mitigation of a pressure Urbanisation, Pollution (eutrophication), River regulation
Hydromorphology Relocation of sidearms, Regulation of main channel
Biology
Physico-chemical Pollution ( e.g. phosphorus, litter )
Other reasons for the project


Measures

Structural measures
Bank/bed modifications Installation of gravel habitat (gravel and stones)
Floodplain / River corridor Removal of retainment structure (Rotubekken), improvement of fish migration (at Sagvollfossen)
Planform / Channel pattern
Other New pipe for sewage runoff along a side beck of Grobruelva
Non-structural measures
Management interventions Removal of litter (especially car tires)
Social measures (incl. engagement)
Other
