Comments
To improve the situation, the existing unsustainable means of disposal of runoff water was examined at the watershed level, seeking solutions through a holistic assessment of watershed processes and dynamics. As a result, new wetlands were created along the heavily degraded stream corridor to compensate for land-use changes within the watershed and
to restore lost stream corridor habitats. In addition, a large wetland park named the Nummela Gateway Wetland Park was established at the mouth of the Kilsoi stream. The construction of wetlands was led by the project team and supported by a range of local and regional stakeholders.
