Reasons for river restoration

Mitigation of a pressure Agriculture
Hydromorphology Quantity & dynamics of flow, Continuity for organisms, Continuity of sediment transport
Biology Invertebrates, Fish: Abundance
Physico-chemical
Other reasons for the project Landscape enhancement


Measures

Structural measures
Bank/bed modifications Weir removal, Removal of rip-rap, Bank reprofiling
Floodplain / River corridor Extensive planting, Vegetation management, Increase water retention area
Planform / Channel pattern Creation of new river arm, Creation of fish passes
Other
Non-structural measures
Management interventions
Social measures (incl. engagement) Land purchase
Other
