After the bypass channel has been built, the fish and benthic invertebrates are now able to migrate upstream from the Ålgårda power station. At the same time the hydropower production is ongoing. During winter 2012-2013 also a technical fishway will be finished and by summer 2013 some low sloping bar racks for downstream migration will be completed. In addition a fishery management plan is being prepared in 2013.<br /> <br /> Building of a bypass channel is the only option to enable migration for all fauna, also the benthic invertebrates.

Maria Arola).JPG<br /> |Picture description=Ålgårda bypass channel (photo Maria Arola)<br /> |Project summary=The watercourse of River Rolfsån is one of the rare inland water areas in Sweden which has vivid salmon and sea trout populations. Besides Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta) there are also lake (Salmo trutta lacustris) and stream trout (Salmo trutta fario). Also endangered species freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) and European eel (Anguilla anguilla) exist in the watercourse. To maintain these populations the fish need to be able to migrate upstream and downstream. This is why several bypass channels have been built in Rolfså River during last years.<br /> <br /> The bypass channel to Ålgårda hydropower plant was finished in October 2012. After the bypass channel has been built, the fish and benthic invertebrates are now able to migrate upstream from the Ålgårda power station. At the same time the hydropower production is ongoing. During winter 2012-2013 also a technical fishway will be finished and by summer 2013 some low sloping bar racks for downstream migration will be completed. In addition a fishery management plan is being prepared in 2013.<br /> <br /> Building of a bypass channel is the only option to enable migration for all fauna, also the benthic invertebrates. Bypass channels are also more recommendable than technical fishways because of their contribution to landscape.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Hydro power plant (photo.

The capacity of the hydro power plant is only 1 m3/s and represents only a small portion of the medium water flow in the river which means that a large part of the water can be used in the fishway. Fishpassage is about to be built in the eastern part of the dam and a minimum flow of 300l/s will always be released in the stream.

(Photo by Pinja Kasvio)<br /> |Project summary=The cantonal city of Basel and the Kraftübertragungswerke Rheinfelden built the Augst-Wyhlen barrage between 1908 and 1912. The plant consists of the Wyhlen power plant on the German bank of the Rhine and the Augst power plant, as well as the jointly managed weir and watergate on the Swiss bank of the river.<br /> <br /> Wyhlen hydropower plant gives discharge to the fish way 800 l/s. The attraction flow is 1 m3/s.<br /> For the small turbine there has been installed the nature-like pool pass. Now the fish have the possibility to migrate to the upper streams from both sides of the River Rhein in Wyhlen.<br /> Fish lifts was constructed year 2005. The hight is 16,75 m. The dimension of the fish cage is 2,5x2,5x1,5 m (volume of the tank is 2,15 m3). The operating discharge is 1,2 m3/s and the operating interval is 1 to 3 hours.<br /> <br /> At Wyhlen Ryburg-Schwörstadt there is also a new bypass under contruction. <br /> Total length will be 1 150 m.

(photo by Pinja Kasvio)<br /> |Project summary=In Wettingen there is a great example of a small nature-like bypass channel at the weir Wettingen on the Limmat downstream from Zurich which surmounts the very big height of 18.30 m. Nature-like bypass channels total length is 620 m, discharge 0.4 m³/s and additional attraction water is 0.6 m³/s. Total difference in water level is 18.30 m with high mean slope 3 %.The lower section consists of a technical fish.<br /> Whereas a near-nature water course was formed in the upper section, a rocky-cascade fishway with a height of 10 meters surmounts the biggest part of the altitude. Due to the limited space the<br /> lower section consists of a vertical-slot-pass which is converted into a collection-gallery at the power house.<br /> Leading back the water course to the power house is not possiblewhen it comes to bigger bypass channels.<br /> Splitting the water into two branches offers a good solution for this small channel. The main branch continues towards the tailwater as a near-nature water course and ends further downstream, where a connection to the natural river bed is possible. The smaller second branch diverts from the main branch towards the power house and is formed as a vertical slot-pass.<br /> <br /> The nature-like bypass channel has a trail on its side, so the residents can enjoy the lovely scenery and see some trouts when passing by.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Limmat fishway plan.JPG<br /> |Caption=Nature-like bypass channel: River Limmat, Wettingen (photo: Walter Binder)<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=River Limmat plan.JPG<br /> |Caption=Downstream section of the River Limmat (photo: Walter Binder)<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Wettingen limmat1.jpg<br /> |Caption=Rock-cascade fish pass on River Limmat (photo:Pinja Kasvio)<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=River Limmat hydropowerplant.JPG<br /> |Caption=River Limmat, hydropowerplant (photo: Pinja Kasvio)<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Reference morphology=Bedrock cascade, Artificial channel, <br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |Dominant hydrology=Artificially regulated,<br /> |Dominant substrate=Bedrock, Gravel, <br /> |River corridor land use=Urban, Broadleaf/mixed plantation, <br /> }}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations}}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

A second weir, between two bridges c35m downstream of the one shown in the images, was also removed. This structure had minimal impact on habitat, but was an impediment to easy migration of fish etc. wishing pass upstream.<br /> <br /> The structure within the meadow that was impounding the Nar upstream had some archaeological interest. For this reason there was a ‘watching brief’ from Norfolk County Council to ensure there was no damage done to any known existing interest features, and to record anything else of interest should this be revealed during the removal of the impounding structure. To minimise damage to the historical elements of the bridge, the concrete ‘boards’ were removed with great care, leaving the central pillar and upper lintel in place, yet drawing the bed down to the required level.<br /> <br /> The effect of centuries of impoundment has been to create a sluggish/non-existent flow in the river upstream with the resultant deposition of thick layers of mud. Pools were created by widening the channel locally. To help keep the pools clear in the future, the channel was narrowed upstream. Due to the extreme depth of soft mud, narrowing was achieved by pushing in one side of the existing river edge with the back of the bucket, and the void created behind this was filled with the arisings from creating the pools. Four pools and upstream ‘runs’ were created, with the run formed upstream of the second pool from the top having a small amount of gravel spread on the bed – this was won from the bed of the river in the pool downstream.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Nar<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=West Lexham <br /> |Pre-project morphology=Single channel, impounded, straightened<br /> |Reference morphology=Single channel, Pool-riffle, Sinuous, <br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2011/02/28<br /> |Project completed=2011/03/04<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations}}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=NAR Spring 2011 - as built project report.pdf<br /> |Description=River Nar Rehabilitation summary report by Nigel Holmes<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Diffuse water pollution to River Wensum from both agricul-ture and urban sources and disconnection of the River Wensum from its floodplain have also led to consequent eco-logical impoverishment of the floodplain.<br /> The River Wensum and Floodplain Restoration Project is therefore designed to implement restoration measures to restore the form and function typical of a Norfolk Chalk River (e.g. channel narrowing, restoring gravel beds, in-creasing sinuosity, increasing woody debris). This will Improve fisheries, invertebrates and plant communities within the SSSI and SAC and restore the connectivity of the floodplain and floodplain wetland habitats; including the restoration and creation of reedbed and fen habitats. Water quality of urban run-off from Fakenham and adjacent agricultural land will also be improved before reaching the river.<br /> Significant and measureable improvements in habitat for designated features of the River Wensum SSSI/SAC (as identified in the River Wensum Restoration Strat-egy) are key objectives of the project.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Site location plan.JPG<br /> |Caption=Site location plan<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Anglian<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=River Wensum<br /> |Pre-project morphology=Straightened<br /> |Reference morphology=Sinuous<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Site designation=EU - Special Area of Conservation<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |River corridor land use=Intensive agriculture (arable)<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Total cost category=500 - 1000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=900<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Pollution incident, Urbanisation<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Continuity for organisms, Substrate conditions, Structure &amp; condition of riparian/lake shore zones<br /> |Biological quality elements=Invertebrates, Macrophytes<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Restoring gravel bed<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Floodplain reconnection<br /> |Planform / Channel pattern=Channel narrowing <br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.environment-agency.gov.uk/<br /> |Description=UK - Environment Agency website<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.pensthorpetrust.org.uk/<br /> |Description=The Pensthorpe Conservation Trust (PCT) was formed in January 2003 to carry forward the work of its predecessor, the Pensthorpe Waterfowl Trust; and to establish a centre of excellence in ecological restoration.

water quality (biotope diversity will increase the ecological processes of the river, such as nutrient uptake); ecosystem services (as a consequence of all the above).<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Welland catchment.JPG<br /> |Caption=Welland catchment<br /> }}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=The rivers Welland and Jordan.JPG<br /> |Caption=The rivers Welland and Jordan in Market Harborough<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Anglian<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=River Welland and its tributary the River Jordan (Market Harborough area)<br /> |Reference morphology=Pool-riffle<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |River corridor land use=Urban<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Total cost category=500 - 1000 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=700<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Urbanisation<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Quantity &amp;

This initially involved constructing pre-weirs below the pre-existing weir structures, in order to raise tailwater levels to ease fish passage. In addition, the upper weir also had a 'step-pool' pass installed, as the weir was deemed to be particularly steep for fish passage. This allowed to fish to climb the weir in two 'jumps'.<br /> <br /> In order to determine the ecological success of the project, the River Dee Trust conducted pre/post-restoration electro-fishing surveys, to track any changes in fish abundance above and below the weirs. These surveys determined the following:<br /> <br /> - Statistically significant increase in salmon parr above the weir in 2010 and 2011, compared with pre-restoration baseline.<br /> <br /> - In 2011, salmon parr numbers u/s of weir were found to be not statistically different to abundances d/s for the first time - indicating that the fish pass had been successful in promoting free u/s passage for spawning.<br /> <br /> - Decline in trout fry and parr above weir following fish pass installation, however the control site d/s showed no significant decline. Possibly due to outcompetition for habitat and territory by salmon, which are naturally far more suited to the habitat. A similar issue was seen following fish pass installation on the Tweed.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Water of Dye<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Water of Dye<br /> |WFD water body code=23329<br /> |WFD (national) typology=Small, Mid, Organic<br /> |WFD water body name=Water of Dye - upper catchment<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |Species=Salmon, brown/sea trout<br /> |Dominant substrate=Peat/Bedrock<br /> |River corridor land use=Pasture<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Project started=2008<br /> |Funding sources=Life-Nature Conservation of Atlantic Salmon in Scotland<br /> |Monitoring Lead organisation=River Dee Trust<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Barriers to fish migration, <br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish,<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Other technical measure=Installation of fish passes in two existing weirs<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Fish<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=Improvement<br /> }}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.riverdee.org.uk/FileLibrary/Content/Publications/2012%20Survey%20Bulletin_Dye%20fish%20passes.pdf<br /> |Description=River Dee Trust - 2012 Bulletin<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.riverdee.org.uk/FileLibrary/Content/Publications/Dye%20fish%20passes%202011_%20survey%20bulletin.pdf<br /> |Description=River Dee Trust - 2011 Bulletin<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

Other factors include weirs that hold up fish migration, and a lack of bank-side and in-stream habitat.<br /> This ambitious community project aims to help address these issues, and improve the quality, WFD status and local enjoyment of 100km of river and stream.<br /> The rivers and streams that are part of the project include:The Upper Wansbeck; The Font; The Hartburn; The Delf Burn; The Ray Burn.<br /> The project will work closely with schools and communities to help renew local interest and ‘ownership’ of the rivers in this rural part of Northumberland.<br /> Outputs will include: improvements to fish passage; lengths of fenced buffer strip to filter out sediments; new and improved wetland features to settle out sediment and nutrients; improvements to vehicle crossings; new native woodland; work with farmers and land managers to reduce run-off in ways that reduce their costs; engagement and communications activity with schools, communities and angling clubs.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Case study image<br /> |File name=Wansbeck.JPG<br /> |Caption=During works<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Wansbeck<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=No<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Total cost category=100 - 500 k€<br /> |Total1 cost=400<br /> |Funding sources=Catchment Restoration Funds <br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Water quality, <br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Continuity for organisms<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish<br /> |Physico-chemical quality elements=Nutrient concentrations<br /> |Other motivation=Improved farming practices; Improved community involvement, knowledge and ownership.<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Fenced off riverbank<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Creation of wet woodland<br /> |Social measures=Work with schools and communities<br /> |Wider stakeholder / citizen engagement=Work with farmers and land managers<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Case study documents<br /> |File name=CRF019 Project Briefing Note - Wansbeck 100.pdf<br /> |Description=Project briefing note<br /> }}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

The re-opening was accompanied by an extensive scientific research and monitoring program, which showed changes in riverbed morphology upstream and downstream of the rock dam.

The sinuosity of the newly created reach of the Voorste Nete, 1.9km in length, was based on old maps, aerial photography and field measurements. The new brook was hydrologically isolated with a bentonite mat preventing water loss due to a decline of the groundwater level. The sides of the bentonite were placed upright for 0.5m and the lining was filled with the original sand from digging out the new reach.<br /> <br /> Originally the newly created streambed has a weak meandering channel pattern (sinuoscity 1.1), and was 1m wide at the bottom and 2m wide at the top. In August 2004, a summer storm caused severe erosion and had a noticeable impact on the profile. In the first three years, mechanical weed clearance was only conducted once in the upstream reach of the diversion in autumn 2005. In 2007, mechanical weed mowing was executed for the total stream.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Meuse<br /> }}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Name=Voorste Nete<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=Yes<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |Species=Spined loach, Three-spined stickelback, Nine-spined stickelback, Gudgeon, European eel (Anguilla anguilla) <br /> |River corridor land use=Intensive agriculture (arable), <br /> |Average bankfull channel width category=2 - 5 m<br /> |Avrg bankfull channel width=2<br /> |Mean discharge category=0.1 - 1.0 m³/s<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background<br /> |Reach length directly affected=1900<br /> |Project started=2004/04/01<br /> |Works started=2004/04/01<br /> |Works completed=2004/06/01<br /> |Project completed=2004/06/01<br /> |Monitoring Lead organisation=University Hasselt<br /> |Monitoring Other contact forename=Alain<br /> |Monitoring Other contact surname=De Vocht<br /> }}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=Aggregate/mineral extraction, <br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Channel pattern/planform, Width &amp; depth variation, Substrate conditions, Quantity &amp; dynamics of flow, <br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish: Species composition, Fish: Age structure, Fish: Abundance, Invertebrates: Taxonomic composition, <br /> |Physico-chemical quality elements=Oxygen balance, <br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Bank and bed modifications measure=Translocation of original substrate into new channel, Alteration in channel dimensions<br /> |Planform / Channel pattern=Channel naturalisation, Creation of new meandering channel<br /> |Management interventions=Weed clearance<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Invertebrates<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=Improvement<br /> }}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Macrophytes<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=Improvement<br /> }}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Angiosperms<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=Improvement<br /> }}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Fish: Species composition<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=No change<br /> }}<br /> {{Biological quality element table row<br /> |Element=Fish: Abundance<br /> |Monitored before=Yes<br /> |Monitored after=Yes<br /> |Qualitative monitoring=No<br /> |Quantitative monitoring=Yes<br /> |Control site used=Yes<br /> |Result=Improvement<br /> }}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.ecrr.org/archive/conf08/pdf/proceed10.pdf<br /> |Description=De Vocht et al.

Tributaries that were affected by fragmentation and channelization during the timber-floating era will be restored with the objective to widen the floodplain, increase the variation in the stream habitats, and to improve the condition for species in the Vindel river system. The Vindel river provides a unique habitat for a variety of aquatic species and many of them are listed as protected species. Otter, great diving beetle, bullhead, Atlantic Salmon, Salmon Trutta and freshwater pearl mussel are all present in the stream. <br /> The length of the restored area is 4500 meters. During the restoration banks have been modified, closed channels re-opened, spawning grounds constructed and building fishways have been taken away to improve the habitats for migratory fish. <br /> <br /> Ten demonstration sites were restored in 2010. By monitoring these restored sites and their references, the effects of restoration will be evaluated: hydrological measurements were done before restoration and after restoration in 2011; fish abundance was monitored before restoration and the after measurements will be done in summer 2013 and 2014; the riparian vegetation will be monitored after restoration in summer 2013 and 2014.<br /> <br /> Remediation of Migratory Barriers in streams (ReMiBar) -project is related to the Vindel River LIFE project.

Starting in 1990, areas along the river were purchased in preparation for future restoration plans. Bank paving was removed and channel width increased to allow for the formation of highly diverse marginal habitats such as gravel bars and backwater areas. This also included reconnection of historic meanders, creation of multi-thread channels and increasing connectivity to floodplains. Overall a great increase was seen in geomorphological diversity and habitat potential. Between 1992 and 2008 the total length of restored sections reached 18km, and a floodplain area of 120ha. <br /> The reasons for the particular success of this project are that restoration was not constrained by the usual site or catchment scale problems centred around land use and in usual difficulty in re-connecting flood plain and backwater areas due to land ownership. <br /> <br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment<br /> |Subcatchment=Rhine<br /> }}<br /> {{Site}}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Hydromorphological quality elements=Channel pattern/planform, Quantity &amp; dynamics of flow,<br /> |Biological quality elements=Fish, Invertebrates,<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures}}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

The project aimed to attenuate pollutants and reduce malodours in order to enhance the amenity value of the site by creating of a new park with wetland and ponds for local biodiversity and people. A pilot study was completed with insigths to develop the project plan for the Tolka Valley Park. <br /> <br /> Restoration measures included riparian planting to slow flows and prevent erosion, installation of geotextile to help the drainage of paths, construction of wetlands and sustainable urban drainage ponds, remedial planting to take up leachates and creation of new habitat. Landfill management issues addressed were on-going leachate introducing gravel filtration strips and vegetation buffers, as well as associated issues (i.e. methane, anaerobic conditions and methane issues). Creation of the wetlands was a 3 stage process. Actions aimed to attenuate and treat road runoff external to site and capture runoff within the site while controlling flooding. The new wetlands provide more habitat diversity for wildlife with visual interest for people. <br /> <br /> Restoration overview: The re-colonisation by young, wild Atlantic salmon was spotted by Inland Fisheries Ireland in 3 locations in the Tolka. This is attributed mainly to the removal and modification of weirs as part of the “Tolka River's flood relief scheme” to allow migratory species, such as salmon, to migrate along the river corridor. As salmon can only survive in clean water, their presence also reflects efforts to reduce pollution levels in the river and effectiveness of the restoration measures aiming to improve water quality. Dublin now has 3 rivers producing wild salmon stocks (the Liffey, Dodder and Tolka), making it the only European capital city to hold such an accolade.<br /> }}<br /> {{Image gallery}}<br /> {{Image gallery end}}<br /> {{Toggle button}}<br /> {{Toggle content start}}<br /> <br /> {{Case study subcatchment}}<br /> {{Site<br /> |Heavily modified water body=No<br /> |Protected species present=Yes<br /> |Invasive species present=No<br /> |Species=Otter (Lutra lutra), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), Trout, Bats (4 spp.), kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)<br /> }}<br /> {{Project background}}<br /> {{Motivations<br /> |Specific mitigation=pollution from landfill site<br /> }}<br /> {{Measures<br /> |Floodplain / River corridor=Removal and modification of weirs<br /> |Social measures=Increased number of facilities<br /> }}<br /> {{Hydromorphological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Biological quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Physico-chemical quality elements header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Other responses header}}<br /> {{End table}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents}}<br /> {{Monitoring documents end}}<br /> {{Additional Documents}}<br /> {{Additional Documents end}}<br /> {{Additional links and references header}}<br /> {{Additional links and references<br /> |Link=www.dublincity.ie/RecreationandCulture/DublinCityParks/VisitaPark/Pages/TolkaValleyPark.aspx<br /> |Description=Dublin City Council local parks: the Tolka Valley Park <br /> }}<br /> {{Additional links and references footer}}<br /> {{Supplementary Information}}<br /> {{Toggle content end}}</div>

habitats along a stretch of the river Toce downstream Domodossola.<br /> The project achieved some relevant results such as the creation of an area with different water levels down to a maximum depth of 1 m, thus favouring amphibians and birds in the locality of Prata (Municipality of Vogogna); the reduction of the presence of invasive exotic trees and shrubs in termophilous shrub habitats; the maintenance of suitable habitat for nesting birds in the lowland hay meadows through specific management intervention consisting in mowing; the creation of new alluvial forests.<br /> }}<br />
