Negel (river)

The Negel is a small river located in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is a tributary of the Treene.

Geography:

The Negel's source is near Hünning, and it flows generally westward. Its length is approximately 10 kilometers. The river's watershed is primarily agricultural land.

Hydrology:

The Negel is a lowland stream with a relatively slow flow. Its water quality is subject to agricultural runoff and other diffuse pollution sources.

Significance:

The Negel, while small, plays a role in the local ecosystem, supporting various plant and animal species adapted to freshwater environments. It also contributes to the overall water system of the Treene River and, ultimately, the North Sea.

Conservation:

Efforts are being made to improve the water quality of the Negel and to restore its natural habitats. These efforts include reducing agricultural runoff and restoring riparian zones.
