Damming of drainage ditches and creation of water pools near the village of Železná

Damming of drainage ditches and creation of water pools is a good practice example of water retention in the forest environment. The measures slowed down water runoff from the landscape and helped preserve the riparian woodland biotope. A great number of these habitats have been lost in recent years as a result of land reclamation and watercourse regulation.
