Some peculiar triangular shaped snow left in the mountains - melt water flowing at high speed downward to Otta river.
Just a little of the melt water is used to make electricity, though. But lead to Otta river, so it will collect an exaggerated amount of water in addition to the many sources of water elsewhere.
This resulting in too much noise from the river, making it impossible to sleep in a tent nearby (I tried and failed!) So a dividing and regulation of the river Otta in different smaller streams near Bismo should be a part of a nature plan there.
Further in the plan there should be still ponds based on man-made deep backstream channels leading from the river to the foot of the hills and mountains. Then beavers, that probably were part of the Bismo area earlier, should be re-introduced to the ponds near tight woodland, so there would be more biological diversity and stable climate there, instead of sudden windy, rainy and frosty conditions there today.
Other regulations, like fish ladders, could be introduced in the plan, especially if more power plants are put in work.
