"... Between February 2018 and August 2019, the Niers Association redesigned the Niers in Kessel over a distance of around 1.1 km in two natural sections. In addition to an extension of around 700 m, around 860 m of new Niers tributaries were also created.

The body of water was significantly widened and the bank areas were lowered. In addition, different forms of dead wood were built into the Niers in order to initiate a dynamic development of watercourses and floodplains in line with the model. Above the waterline, dead wood serves as a seat guard for dragonflies and birds (e.g. kingfishers). Below it ensures different flow conditions in the water. It offers protection for fish and is a habitat for many microorganisms. In the flat areas of the bank, the water warms up, which allows the fry to develop better. The sole, bank and floodplain are once again becoming attractive habitats for typical representatives of the local flora and fauna.

The measure also increased the natural retention space in the boiler area. In this way, smaller flood events in the future replacement floodplain can be intercepted and the effects mitigated. ... "
