The restoration works of the Bosut River in Croatia, conducted with a Watermaster Classic V, are in full swing.
Sediment build-up has reduced the river’s flow and depth. This means higher flood risk, degrading water quality and ecological health, and it limits the river’s use for irrigation and recreation.
The project involves cleanup of a 4.8-kilometer-long section, removing approximately 267,400 cubic meters of silt from the riverbed.
According to the contractor Sokol d.o.o. Vinkovci, the Bosut restoration program with Watermaster is efficient because one machine replaces many.
"Typical river maintenance includes sediment removal by suction dredging or excavating, vegetation clearing, and debris removal. Our multipurpose Watermaster can handle all those tasks,” Sokol said.
Watermaster can “walk” from land into the river and work safely and independently in shallow, hard-to-access areas, without additional machinery or support personnel.
