| Description | Introduction
The Geldersch Landschap & Kastelen (GLK) manages a large number of (natural) sites, including Natura 2000 areas. Eco-hydrological conditions are of great importance for the preservation of the natural values for many sites. These conditions are under pressure for a number of these sites. GLK requests a hydrological model research carried out for these sites in order to gain insight into the current eco-hydrological conditions, to identify possible causes of deterioration of the natural values and how potential measures can be carried to restore these conditions. Panovenpas a small forest in the floodplains of the Waal near Dodewaard and contains an abundance of Rough Horsetail (NL:Schaafstro). Due to poor hydrological conditions the nature area is hardly passable making maintenance of the site laborious. Objective An analysis of the hydrological system, through modeling, to obtain insight in the current hydrological conditions and investigate measures to improve the water management in and around the area of the site. |
