In streams with a low discharge, fallen trees and leaves can cause backwater effects and obstruction. If a high flow velocity can be maintained, this will not tend to be a problem. If vegetation does not develop quickly enough, there is a risk of bank instability. 51.542882526914,4.7069182743646 Martin Waterschap Brabantse Delta Stamhuis 0.1 - 1.0 m³/s ,, ,,, In the beginning of the project the stream discharge was too low, so that sludge and leaves piled up in the bed. This caused a high biological oxygen demand and consequently a low oxygen level. As the project developed, a continuous vegetation cover developed, making mowing unnecessary. Black alder and hazel proved especially suitable, since they grow fast. Oxygen levels have become more stable and nutrient runoff into the stream has decreased. 26178 Complete The Bijloop-Turfvaart stream system has been heavily modified for peat transport in the 15th century. Since then, it has been optimized for agricultural purposes. The low flow velocity, high water temperature and nutrient load cause a generally unfavourable ecological environment. The water authority has experimented with removing fewer water plants. To this end, they planted trees lining the stream. Various species were used: black alder, summer oak, hazel, rowan, blackthorn, ash and buckthorn.
