    Fish-passable weir Asserij on watercourse OS197 – Damsloot

    During the construction of the motorway in 1971, the Asserij weir was built at the request of Professor of Biology Jan Huble (1932-2009). Without a weir, the water-rich nature reserve Damvallei would run dry. This is detrimental to the watercourses and canals, the Lange Poel, the numerous peat pits, the peat layers and also to the flower-rich hayfields.

    The original weir was not adjustable. However, for the optimal development of the natural values, it is important that the water levels, depending on the seasons and weather conditions, can be actively regulated.
