Project overview
In 2015, an artificial rapid was created across the full width of the river at the location of the former dam. The rapid is about 18 m long and about 11 m wide, with a fall of 0.7 m, or 3.8%. The lower layer consists of boulders and crushed stone covered with geotextile. Larger boulders with diameters from 100 to 1100 mm were placed on the textile in a checkerboard pattern, and the surrounding areas were covered with a 0.2 to 0.4 m layer of smaller stones. To allow canoeists to pass, a deeper and more evenly graded channel approximately 2 m wide was formed along the right bank of the river.
