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 and is intended to aiding practitioners by presenting experiences about success or failure of the application of different measures. The system has been developed as part of the project FORECASTER funded by the IWRM-Net and Delft Cluster and thanks to the contributions of scientists, water managers, and water authorities across Europe. |
|
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 and each of them has an associated wiki page where relevant information about the implementation of the project is presented. Case studies can be selected according to:
The system contains wiki pages with general descriptions of European river typologies, hydromorphological pressures, Category:restoration and rehabilitation measures, Hydromorphological Quality Elements used to assess the effect on the physical environment, and Biological Quality Elements used to assess the effect on biota. |
|
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 new case studies!
