River Restoration in European Lowland River Systems

1998
In the discussion on river restoration, an interesting change is gradually taking place in the way river ecologists and hydrologists are being consulted. Traditionally, ecologists were engaged mainly in the survey of remaining natural assets and on the prediction of environmental effects. This has greatly enhanced nature conservation.

Evaluating ecosystem functioning following river restoration: the role of hydromorphology, bacteria, and macroinvertebrates.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Ecological restoration of freshwater ecosystems is now being implemented to mitigate anthropogenic disruption. Most emphasis is placed on assessing physico-chemical and hydromorphological properties to monitor restoration progress. However, less is known

Eco-restoration of Rivers

2021
Rivers, the fluvial landscape enabled both ancient and modern societies to develop and flourish in the proximity of rivers which fundamentally shape the present earth with all its living and nonliving entities including human being. However, humans have spatially and temporally altered rivers since time immortal because of intensive use of the rivers ...

Assessing the context and ecological effects of river restoration – A meta-analysis

Ecological Engineering: The Journal of Ecotechnology, 2019
A large number of qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses have been performed to summarize the effects of river restoration, while systematic and quantitative assessments of the literature on river restoration are still rare.

River restoration and geomorphology

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 1994
AbstractThe restoration or rehabilitation of rivers is currently an expanding area of investment by public water management bodies in the USA and EC. This position has developed from the rapid growth in environmental (and particularly water) awareness, the rise of accountability for environmental degradation within the legislative framework of water ...

The urban river restoration index (URRIX) - A supportive tool to assess fluvial environment improvement in urban flood control projects

, 2019
River restoration is a strategy for controlling floods and restoring fluvial environmental quality. Urban river restoration is a challenge and involves a complex discussion, which needs to focus on the whole watershed and to recognize practical limits ...

Effects of large-river restoration measures on ecological fish guilds and focal species of conservation in a large European river (Danube, Austria).

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
River engineering measures of the last two centuries have severely impacted the fish coenoses of all larger rivers in Europe by creating river barriers, replacing natural shores with riprap-reinforced banks, and installing artificial structures that ...

River systems (river restoration/rehabilitation)

Rivers and river floodplains are subject to human uses that cause pollution, degradation of coastal areas, straightening the river course, draining floodplains, building levees, using water for irrigation, sediment dredging, fisheries reduction, etc. Land use/land cover changes coupled with local climate change additionally causes modification in the ...
