We have been working on our RiverWiki click on the link to see the change  http://bit.ly/14rG6PA  460  river restoration case studies from 24 European countries.

The conceptual models are used to illustrate the relationships between three common restoration measures (riparian buffer instalment, instream mesohabitat improvement, weir-removal), its effects on instream environmental key variables, and eventually the impact of changing variables on benthic algae, macrophytes, benthic invertebrates and fish.

Tours University's river restoration course still has places for next year (http://imacof.univ-tours.fr), this course is given in

The RESTORE team is busily writing a handbook about river restoration for spatial planners and developers who do not have a background in this subject. It will be a practical summary of our approach and will explain what we want to achieve, why it is important and how we do it to get the best results. 

If you are a planner we would love to have your help in shaping this handbook so we can produce the information you really need.
