Controllable weir in the Olstertocht River

Project: Controllable weir in the Olstertocht River
Client: Water board Zuiderzeeland
Partners: -
Period: 2006
Aim: To justify if the construction of a controllable weir in the Olstertocht River contributes to water retention upstream of the weir.

Summary

Results from the FutureView model imply a low effectiveness for water retention in the study area. Without seepage the extra amount of water to be stored is 7 to 15 mm. The criteria as set by the Water Board indicate this as “low suitability” for water retention.
