In order to facilitate the local biodiversity, a gravel nourishment will be performed. The nourishment will recreate a relatively shallow permanent flowing habitat with good oxygenated sediments facilitating the establishment of numerous macro-invertebrates, fish and aquatic macrophytes. 

In total it entails the nourishment of 40.000 m3 of local gravel excavated from a side channel that was constructed recently. The nourishment is expected to take place in 2025. The nourishment is performed as a measure as part of the Natura 2000 area Grensmaas and the WFD goals for this same river.
