This web-based tool 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 tool has been developed as part of the project FORECASTER which deals with the application of output from research and case studies on ecological responses to hydro-morphological degradation and rehabilitation.

How to use the information in the system
The information presented in this 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.
