Better status of wetlands

Four wetlands adjacent to the project's watercourse must be annualized. A total of 18 kilometers of ditches will be plugged again and the wetlands can regain their potential.

The work to remediate wetlands is underway!

Watercourses without obstacles

In this project, 199 obstructing road culverts and 22 dams will be repaired, which will open up a whole 845 kilometers of waterways to move freely in.

Big effort for the white pearl mussel
