Between 2016 and 2018, flow velocity measurements at Baalhoek and Knuitershoek (Western Scheldt) were conducted to monitor the effects of newly constructed, overstrowable groins designed to foster sedimentation. Dataset contains vertical ADCP profile measurements of water flow velocity and direction by boat and at fixed points ('raaien') at T0 (before construction in 2016) and T1 (after construction in 2018). The flow velocity measurements were conducted by Rijkswaterstaat and analyzed by Deltares in the context of WP5 in the project.
","EngDescr":"Since 2010, The Netherlands' province of Zeeland has implemented projects in the Western Scheldt to create intertidal estuarine habitat and develop benthic macrofauna, an important food source for foraging birds. In 2016, groins were modified or built at Knuitershoek and Baalhoek to reduce water flow and encourage sediment accretion. These projects aimed to change the hydrogeomorphological conditions to enrich the benthic macrofauna community and overall biomass, thereby providing food to migratory birds. To assess the effectiveness of these measures and advise on future restoration designs, all study locations have been intensely monitored to track their physical and biological development.
