Degree of synergistic effects and conflicts according to WFD aims
Future projects, based on the findings of this pilot test research project, aims to create current deflecting zones by which tidal energy is dissipated. From the analysis, it seems that the bathymetry changes at a local scale after the relocation of material. The bathymetry of the relocation areas was flattened some months after the relocation test. At a larger scale, this could affect the hydrographic regime (tidal currents) and ensure safety against flooding in the future.| Indicator | code | Main pressures mesohaline zone Scheldt | Effect? | Description | ||||
