Description
Increase the water level in the ditches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in peat soils and counteract the sumps.
The existing water management system is optimized so that the water level in the trenches remains stable. The bog body serves as a sponge that fills with water and thus emits only small amounts of greenhouse gases.
