How does my river work?

Understanding how a river works will improve the success of its restoration. This section of the wiki presents the knowledge developed in REFORM to characterize rivers and their ecosystem services.

What's wrong?

Assessing a river's condition will show if restoration is needed. REFORM researched hydromorphological and biological metrics and related those to hydromorphological pressures. This sections presents assessment methods and possible metrics that help in identifying the effect of hydromorphological pressures.

How can we improve? Identifying potential measures

Based on the basic characteristics of your river, the catchment and the river condition, a selection of measure categories can be made. You have an idea of the restoration potential and a catalog of possible measures. The next step will further detail the restoration programme.

How can we improve? Programme of measures

After the restoration potential has been established, you need to further detail the exact measure you want to apply in your river. This section helps you plan and implement restoration measures using a simple planning cycle.
Once the measures have been implemented their effect on the river condition can be re-evaluated and so completing the main river basin management cycle.
