Description The NGO FLORON, in cooperation with Wageningen University performs a study into the effects of Nature friendly banks on the ecology of water course. Different water board authorities have built these kinds of banks to promote ecological quality. Data from a monitoring program will become available. Multivariate analyses of these data may provide insight in the effectiveness of the measure. A literature review will be part of the thesis.
