REFORM River Restoration Wiki

Welcome to the REFORM River Restoration Wiki, a knowledge management tool that addresses the challenges to reach the ecological objectives for rivers as required by the EU Water Framework Directive. The contents are available through the menu (left) or through the links on this main page.

The REFORM wiki is work in progress. It is filled as the deliverables of the REFORM project become available during the period 2012-2015.

Linking Case studies, Knowledge and Tools

De REFORM-wiki contains three main parts: know-how (case studies), knowledge and evaluation (tools) that are all interlinked as shown in the figure below. In practice this means:

• Every river restoration case study contains links to the WFD hydro-morphological quality elements; WFD biological quality elements; pressures and measures relevant for that case study.
• Every listed pressure under Category:Pressures shows all the case studies where that pressure has impact.
• Every listed restoration measure under Category:Measures shows all the case studies where that measure is applied.
• Every tool listed is linked to the WFD Hydro-morphological and WFD Biological quality elements in HYMOQE and BQE.

The REFORM web-based tool is a knowledge and information system relating hydromorphology and ecology of European rivers and has been developed as part of the projects REFORM and FORECASTER funded by the European Commission, IWRM-Net and Delft Cluster.
