Peak flow control structuresEngineered ponds in peatlands that have been ditched to enhance forest production have the potential to retain water in the landscape and trap sediment without adversely affecting tree growth. Such measures have the potential to limit hydrograph peaks and potentially reduce flooding associated with snowmelt. - Elaborated by NWRM project experts and validated by the European Commissionhttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/resources/glossary/peak-flow-control-structureshttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/++resource++plone-logo.svg
