Ammerån, Rörströmsälven and Åreälven with tributaries
Ammerån
The Ammerån water system is the Indalsälven's second largest source and originates in the Hotagsfjällen. The river's character alternates between stretches of rapids characterized by wilderness and open silt areas with cultivation and buildings. The longest rapid section is Borgforsen. The highest coastline here is 234 meters above sea level. Thanks to the calcareous rocks in the area, Ammerån's water has a high pH and great buffering capacity. This has given rise to a very rich plant and animal life both in the watercourse itself and in the surroundings.
Measures in Ammerån
C1 Restoration of watercourses
C2 Construction of spawning grounds
C3 Wetland restoration
C4 Restore habitat for scapania species
C5 Remediate Obstructing Road culverts
C7 Reinforcement of the freshwater pearl mussel population
C8 Develop a management plan with Solberg-Vikens-, Nedre Ammeråns- och Övre Ammeråns FVO

Rörströmsälven
The river alternates in rapids, currents and seals. The current sections are mainly concentrated in the section downstream of Sundsjön and in the lower part of the river via the Hocksjöforsarna. Nutrient-rich water that floods the banks in the spring and a splash zone make the river bank favorable for vegetation. By the rapids there are, among other things, gravel beaches with their special vegetation of King Karl's sceptre, cat's foot, sedge, etc. and blocky beaches with martens and marsh violets. The fish stock in the streams is dominated by trout and grayling. The basis for the Rörströmsälven's great value today is that it has been exempted from hydropower development.

Åreälven
The Åre River with its tributaries comprises the part of the Indalsälven water system that stretches from the springs in the mountains at the Norwegian border to the cultural settlements in the river valley and down to the lake Little by Järpen. High natural values in and adjacent to lakes and watercourses are often linked to naturalness in the flow regime and naturalness in the surroundings. In the Åreälven's water system, which is largely exempt from water regulation and power plants, there is a natural flow dynamic typical of mountain-born watercourses. Low water flow during the winter, large spring flood in connection with the snowmelt, first in the forest region, then in the mountains.

Conservation plan
Right now in Jämtland: Ammerån, Rörströmsälven and Åreälven
Migration barriers
During the year, 10 obstructive road culverts will be replaced in the Åre area.
River restoration
Restoration continues in the Ammerån, Rörströmsälven and also the Åreälven if permission is received from the Environmental Court.
Demonstration areas
Will be completed during the summer!
