Widening of the Thur river, Switzerland[1]

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 condition of different river systems. 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.
