In this project we map all potential drained peatland areas in the Iijoki River<\/a> basin, which could retain ditchwaters and thus decrease nutrients and sediment loads to Iijoki River. The mapping algorithm utilizes a geospatial data and is validated with field measurements of four pilot areas. As a result, the method of utilizing drained peatlands for water protection is scaled up to the whole country, and a specific plan for the Iijoki River to implement the water protection method is developed.<\/p>\n

The project is funded by Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment \/ North Ostrobothnia. Co-funders are, Municipalities: Ii, Oulu, Pudasj\u00e4rvi and Taivalkoski, Companies: PVO-Vesivoima Oy,\u00a0 Mets\u00e4hallitus Mets\u00e4talous Oy and Mets\u00e4hallitus Luontopalvelut. Total budget is 284 000 \u20ac.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2357,"parent":0,"menu_order":6,"template":"","class_list":["post-2781","projekti","type-projekti","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nImproving Water Protection in Forestry by Retaining Ditchwaters in Drained Peatlands - Micropolis<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/micropolis.fi\/en\/project\/improving-water-protection-in-forestry-by-retaining-ditchwaters-in-drained-peatlands\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Improving Water Protection in Forestry by Retaining Ditchwaters in Drained Peatlands - Micropolis\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this project we map all potential drained peatland areas in the Iijoki River basin, which could retain ditchwaters and thus decrease nutrients and sediment loads to Iijoki River.
