Restoration under global change:

a practitioner’s response

• Independent, not-for-profit, technical advisory centre

• Supports the development of river restoration as an integral part of best-practice river management

The River Restoration Centre (RRC)

integral part of best-practice river management

• Achieve effective river management through influencing policy and disseminating information

Since 1994

But also remember…

•For wildlife benefit

•For community benefit

Multiple benefits:

society & funders

The UK scenario today

• Current situation… flooding, flooding and more flooding…..

• Government level debates on need to

Examples UK –modified rivers

• Opportunities to design in climate change

variability even in confined spaces for HMWB

• Think about the high flows and the low flow conditions

However, to fill the additional flood tidal prism more sediment laden flow from down estuary will be ‘drawn’ through the deep relatively slack water areas of the harbour

Reducing the cross section at the Elbe mouth is likely to be a very efficient strategy to dissipate tidal energy and hence reduce high water levels, increase low water levels
