4 stages of river renaturalization
1. Removing of wooden residues in the riverbed
4 stages of river renaturalization
2. Restoration of morphological and biotopical structure
8 dams, 7 half-dams and 5 artificial rapids were made of local stones, the river
meanders was restored, while depths variations and zones with different stream
speeds and whirlpools were created
4 stages of river renaturalization
3. Selection of reference (donor) river
similar river by its size and geological structure and located at the same altitude
4 stages of river renaturalization
4. Re-introduction of typical for mountain rivers
invertebrates and fish
(5,000 of specimen of Ephemeroptera naides, 9 stream trouts Salmo trutta
morpha fario, 5 gobies Cotlus poecilopus and 4 minnows Phoxinus phoxinus)
