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 information has been organized in such a way that users can select case studies according to hydromorphological pressures addressed, rehabilitation measures implemented, or the effects of these pressures and measures on the physical environment and biota. |

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. It is intended to aid practitioners in river rehabilitation and restoration projects by presenting experiences about success or failure of different restoration and rehabilitation measures. The information is available for use with due acknowledgement of the original source.
