Sediment-Trap near Wedel

Impact on ecosystem services





  • From the ES assessment it is concluded that this measure generates overall a slightly positive expected impact for several ES, mainly for:
    • “biodiversity”
    • Cultural services
    • Some regulating services: Erosion and sedimentation regulation (by water bodies); Water quality regulation: transport of pollutants and excess nutrients; Water quantity regulation: transportation
    • Some provisioning services: Water for industrial use; Water for navigation
  • The expected impact for the two development targets (“Water quality regulation: transport of pollutants and excess nutrients” and “Water for navigation”) is slightly positive.
  • 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.
