Resource description:
This is a step-by-step guidance on how to develop and implement a successful river restoration project in Europe. It also includes the RESTORE RiverWiki tool, which allows the sharing of best practice and lessons learned. It showcases river restoration examples from across Europe in a Wikipedia website that anyone can freely add to and edit. It provides project data (including objectives, techniques and outcomes) as well as information on ecosystem benefits, stakeholder participation and costs.
ECRR is considered internationally to be the key network to promote and build capacity for ecological river restoration across Europe, supporting the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, Floods Directive and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UNECE Water Convention, the Convention on Biodiversity, as well as national policies.
