Resource description:

REFORM (REstoring rivers FOR effective catchment Management, http://reformrivers.eu/) brought together 26 renowned research institutes and applied partners from15 European countries to generate tools for cost-effective restoration of river ecosystems, and for improved monitoring of the biological effects of physical change by investigating natural, degradation and restoration processes in a wide range of river types across Europe.

Requirements:

  • The consortium of partners in REFORM represents a wide range of disciplines: hydrology
  • hydraulics
  • geomorphology

Advantages:

  • Aims of REFORM are: to provide a framework for improving the success of hydromorphological restoration measures and
  • To assess more effectively the state of rivers, floodplains and connected groundwater systems. The restoration framework addresses the relevance of dynamic processes at various spatial and temporal scales, the need for setting end-points, analysis of risk

Constraints:

  • N/A

Licence:

  • Free, no licence

Development stage:

  • Full, working product
