Monitoring



Reasons for river restoration

Mitigation of a pressure
Hydromorphology Quantity & dynamics of flow, Continuity for organisms
Biology Macrophytes, Invertebrates, Fish: Age structure
Physico-chemical
Other reasons for the project Landscape enhancement


Measures

Structural measures
Bank/bed modifications Bank reprofiling
Floodplain / River corridor
Planform / Channel pattern Side channel created, Creation of backwater
Other
Non-structural measures
Management interventions More natural water retention
Social measures (incl. engagement)
Other
