Instream Flow Science for Sustainable River Management
Concerns for water resources have inspired research developments to determine the ecological effects of water withdrawals from rivers and flow regulation below dams, and to advance tools for determining the flows required to sustain healthy riverine ecosystems. This paper reviews the advances of this environmental flows science over the past 30 years since the introduction of the Instream Flow ...
متن کاملRiver restoration
[1] River restoration is at the forefront of applied hydrologic science. However, many river restoration projects are conducted with minimal scientific context. We propose two themes around which a research agenda to advance the scientific basis for river restoration can be built. First, because natural variability is an inherent feature of all river systems, we hypothesize that restoration of ...
متن کاملAn interactive visual decision support tool for sustainable urban river corridor management
Sustainable integrated catchment management is a complex task that often involves finding compromise between the views of multiple stakeholders that may not easily be brought to consensus. Interactive three dimensional (3D) visualisations of landscapes can facilitate discussion, but these can only partially inform decision makers as many important aspects of interventions are abstract. Such abs...
متن کاملRiver Restoration and Meanders
Among the most visually striking river restoration projects are those that involve the creation of a new channel, often in a new alignment and generally with a form and dimensions that are different from those of the preproject channel. These channel reconstruction projects often have the objective of creating a stable, single-thread, meandering channel, even on rivers that were not historicall...
متن کاملSustainability and River Restoration
One of the major problems causing the accelerating widespread destruction and degradation of the natural environment is the undervaluing of the protection and restoration of environmental resources that takes place in the decision making process. This paper argues that non-market values need to be incorporated in the benefit estimation process to make the concept of sustainability operational u...
