Welcome to the FORECASTER web-based tool! This is a knowledge and information system relating hydromorphology and ecology of European rivers. The system presents a compilation of case studies describing the output from restoration and rehabilitation projects aiming at improving the ecological status of different river systems. The system is intended to aid practitioners by presenting experiences about success or failure of the application of different measures. |
|
The system is set up as a Geo-wiki. The Case studies are presented in a Google map to provide a better idea of their geographical distribution. Each case study has an associated wiki page where relevant information about the implementation of the project is presented. Case studies can be selected according to:
In addition, it is possible to select only the case studies for which some kind of evaluation is available. |
|
This web-based tool has been developed as part of the project FORECASTER funded by the IWRM-Net and Delft Cluster.
The information presented in these pages has been compiled thanks to the contributions of scientists and water authorities across Europe. The information is available for use with due acknowledgement of the original source.
You can also contribute to the project by adding relevant knowledge and information in the wiki pages and/or adding case studies!
