The newsletter presents three remarkable collaborative efforts restoring Europe's rivers:
- the Gipuzkoa Masterplan;
- the European Open Rivers   Programme;
- the Lower Dnipro self-restoration.

River restoration is a broad concept. In addition, it is an activity that is applied within the broad context of Integrated River (Basin) Management. As a result, river restoration touches on many different aspects. This is reflected in the variety of articles in this ECRR Technical Newsletter issue.
