Project summary
The Springendalse beek is a tributary of the Tilligterbeek, which in turn is a tributary of the river Dinkel. The stream flows through a largely natural area. To restore its ecological value and retain more water, the incised bed was raised to a level that was closer to its previous state.
Monitoring surveys and results
The original stream valley vegetation has re-established eitself in the area. As a consequence, the rare brook lamprey (Dutch: beekprik) can now be found in the stream again. Water retention has increased as well, so that downstream peak discharges and erosion can be mitigated.
