In Høje-Taastrup Municipality we are currently cutting stream plants along public streams several times a year, to ensure that excess water is better diverted. We would like to reduce the frequency that stream plants are cut, since stream plants increase biodiversity by functioning as habitat for many species. Equally important, plants retain water in the streams and thereby reduce the risk of the streams running dry in periods with little precipitation.
On the other hand, by reducing plant cutting, the risk of flooding agricultural areas increases, as the drainage capacity of streams is negatively affected, when plants are not cut.
We hope to develop a model that can help us find the right balance in our plant cutting regime, so that plants are cut as little as possible without the flooding risk increasing too much.
