    Key features of the case study

    As part of the LIFE Nature project “Restoration of the wetland and riparian area at the Upper Drau River” several measures were implemented at the site of Kleblach. Bank stabilization structures were removed and the river bed was widened. Lateral erosion increased the sediment input and initialized the development of gravel / sand bars and islands. Furthermore the river bed incision decreased. One of the former side arms was reconnected to the river for annual flooding, and a second side arm was widened to a width of 30 m, creating diverse instream structures and increasing aquatic habitat diversity.
