Maria Arola).JPG Complete Skårhultsdammen pond was built in 1920th century and was used as water regulation for Kvarnekulla power plant. Local farmers were using water from Skårhultsdammen for irrigation which made water level downstreams unnatural low. There were also other negative effects of the pond for the river. One of the biggest problems for the ecology of the Knipån was the outlet of the pond which made the migration difficult for fish like trout and greyling. Also coarse fish which thrivdes in the pond had negative effects for migrating fish. In 2009 and 2010 started the project as the aim of improving ecological and hydromorphological conditions of the River Knipån. The longest bypass channel in Sweden was constructed for making fish migration possible and making hydromorpological condtitions of the water closer to natural state. All and all 55 000 m2 sediment was taken away which increased the water volyme from 25 000 m2 to 80 000 m2. Total cost of the restoration was about 230 000 euros.
