Dams in the Aklais Mire are under heap of snow 26/02/2013 12:08
Raised bog with hummock-hollow micro-relief and diverse natural forests are dominant habitats in the Aklais Mire. Drainage ditches were built in the mire at the beginning of 20th century. To stop the water flow from the mire and restore the natural hydrological regime, 14 dams were built on drainage ditches during the Project.
It is easier to evaluate whether dams are built agreeably to instructions during the winter – the dam stands stable, water flow is stopped and do not run away along the dam edges, the ditch has a thick ice crust.
