About Öreälven

A natural flow dynamic with large and regular seasonal variations in the flow characterizes the river. It maintains natural physical processes such as erosion, transport and sedimentation of material, which means that the depth, structure and substrate as well as current speed of the river channel are varied. The transport of fine material is distinctive and can be high, especially during strong flows, in the fine-sediment-rich area downstream of the highest shoreline. Receding high tides therefore deposit significant amounts of sand and finer material on the beaches, which are thus revitalized.
