Back to overview measures
The screening of the ecosystem services (ESS) that were effected by the measure `METHA` showed no clear results. Some ESS will be influenced positively; the targeted ESS will not be effected. This outcome made clear that the screening of the effects on the ESS is not applicable on every type of measure executed in the TIDE project.

Impact on ecosystem services
- From the ES assessment it is concluded that this measure generates overall a slightly positive expected impact for several ES.
- “biodiversity”
- Cultural services
- Some regulating services: Erosion and sedimentation regulation (by water bodies); Water quality regulation: transport of pollutants and excess nutrients
- Some provisioning services: water for industrial use and water for navigation
- The expected impact on the development targets (“Water quality regulation: reduction of excess loads coming from the catchment”) is neutral.
- The expected impact for the different beneficiary groups is limited, with a slightly positive expected impact for indirect and future use and for local and region use.
