Bodies of water
A significant body of water built on the Chamb is the Drachensee Reservoir, located in the territory of Furth im Wald. It was built in 2009 and has an area of Template:Cvt.[3] The main purpose of the reservoir is flood protection (river flow regulation). In addition, the western part of the reservoir is used for recreational purposes and the eastern part is a nesting ground for many species of water birds.[4]
Nature
A population of Eurasian beavers (protected within the Czech Republic) lives in the upper course of the river. They built here beaver dams and water spilled over the banks causes damage to people's homes.[5]
