Guidance and decision support for cost-effective river and floodplain restoration and its benefits

The present report presents guidance and decision support for cost-effective river and floodplain restoration and its benefits. It serves as a portal to the web-based information system or wiki developed within REFORM and summarizes the contents, structure and functionality of this wiki. The wiki guides the planning process and design of cost-effective and hydromorphologically relevant restoration and its benefits.

Methods, models, tools to assess the hydromorphology of rivers - Part 5 Applications

Work Package 6 of REFORM focuses on monitoring protocols, survey methods, assessment procedures, guidelines and other tools for characterising the consequences of physical degradation and restoration, and for planning and designing successful river restoration and mitigation measures and programmes. Deliverable 6.2 of Work Package 6 is the final report on methods, models and tools to assess the hydromorphology of rivers. This report summarises the outputs of Tasks 6.1 (Selection of indicators for cost-effective monitoring and development of monitoring protocols to assess river degradation and restoration), 6.2 (Improve existing methods to survey and assess the hydromorphology of river ecosystems), and 6.3 (Identification and selection of existing hydromorphological and ecological models and tools suitable to plan and evaluate river restoration).

Synthesis of interim results for practical application to support the compilation of the 2nd RBMPs

REFORM (Nov 2011 - Oct 2015) is targeted towards development of guidance and tools to make river restoration and mitigation measures more cost-effective and to support implementing the Water Framework Directive. Its final products will hence become available too late for the preparation of the 2nd River Basin Management Plans (2015). That is why deliverable D6.1 makes interim results available at a time when they can still be used.
