Could someone please help me with a translation? In a key for midges I read that the respective species settles in "genormaliseerde beken". Would that be streams who have been restored to their natural structure? I know that literally it translates as normalised, but I am not sure what it means in this particular context. Normalising could just as well refer to the water level and then it'd be streams whos levels get regulated by dams and pumps - the exact opposite of renaturalized streams.
Never heard of it before, but I found a description here: https://www.duotone-fotografie.nl/portfolio-rob/beken/
As for a translation, I might lean more toward something like 'standardized', since it seems to be more about making everything straight and uniformly broad/deep.

Thanks for the link! That's just what I needed. Genormaliseerd in this context means they are built to a common standard (not natural). They got straightened, made broader and deeper.
