Harnessing the Potential of River Restoration: Inspiring Cases

This newsletter explores three remarkable examples. These cases highlight the power of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange in achieving successful outcomes for river ecosystems.

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.

The highly acclaimed Cumbria River Restoration partnership are the winners of the 2022 Europe River prize wit the Cumbria River Restoration programme.

The content of this newsletter is just a small reflection of all of the dynamic activity around the free-flowing rivers. At the same time, being aware of all that is happening makes it even more interesting to have look at all of the different activities and to realise how broad the topic of free-flowing rivers is in practice. And not only that, but what it takes to support the achievement of 25,000 km of free-flowing rivers by 2030 as well as many other targets directly or indirectly related to freshwater ecosystems restoration.
