At first to make it navigable and from the 1930's onwards to reduce flooding. Over the years the Berkel has thus been modified into a straight monotonous river. Now, some of the natural characteristics of the area will be restored. This will allow many more species of plants and animals to live in and around the Berkel, and the water becomes cleaner. The measures that will be taken are: * remeandering and introduction of woody debris to create more variety in stream flow, water depth and plant growth; * cascading fish passages will be made on the Besselink and Warken dams; * land consolidation, to move production lands away from the low lying (thus wet) river banks, and closer to the farms, thus reducing distance travelled by farmers; * a swimming pool and a walking path will be made, in order to better facilitate recreation.
