From matcha to latte: Flemish Waterway clears dying duckweed in Ghent

Flemish Waterway begins removing dead duckweed at Sint-Jorissluis in Ghent, which has turned brown and may cause odor issues. The plant, initially vibrant, has formed a thick layer on the water. The removal process involves gathering the duckweed with boats and creating artificial currents to push it downstream. The success of this trial project remains uncertain, but no disturbances are expected for the local community during the cleanup.
