Résumé
Le bassin de la Wimbe couvre environ 112 km² et est classé comme une biorégion continentale. Le bassin comprend les masses d’eau LE8-10. Les communes situées dans le bassin sont Daverdisse, Wellin, Beauraing, Gedinne et Rochefort. L’utilisation des sols dans le bassin est répartie comme suit : 2 % urbain, 21 % terres arables, 11 % prairies et 66 % forêts. La région traversée par le cours d’eau est représentative de la Famenne schisteuse et le paysage y est ouvert. La région est vulnérable à la fois aux inondations et aux faibles débits. La zone est également vulnérable à une concentration en nitrates dans l’eau dépassant ou susceptible de dépasser 50 mg/l, ce qui peut avoir entraîné ou est susceptible d’entraîner une eutrophisation.
The OPTAIN project will support the case study team with identifying and developing efficient land management strategies and small technical solutions to improve the soils’ infiltration and water holding capacities as well as its capacity to filter, buffer and transform pollutants.
