Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


The Tungelroyse beek is a meandering stream with a low flow velocity. It features several sand bars and overhanging banks. The upstream part of the stream was re-designed in a more natural way. Some weirs were removed and replaced with vegetation that provided resistance to the flow. The mowing regime was made less intensive.

Monitoring surveys and results

Edit project overview to modify the Monitoring survey and results.


The vegeatation was succesful in creating flow resistance and a backwater effect, although the relation between water level and discharge was not as expected.
