Ķemeri National Park is rich in wetlands — mires, water-saturated forests, coastal lakes and floodplains of rivers provide unique natural values in Latvia and Europe. The existence of wetlands is dependent on the water availability. In order to maintain natural values endangered at the European level in the future, the renewal of the natural water level for three drainage-affected wetland areas will be carried out in Ķemeri National Park. During the project, a detailed hydrologic study and the renewal of the natural water level in the three wetland areas of Ķemeri National Park once affected by drainage will take place. During the project, the restoration program of the natural water regime will be developed and reconstruction works will be implemented. In order to prevent a risk to affect the economically usable areas, an extensive study and modeling of water level changes with the aid of the latest technology are scheduled.
