River hydromorphology. A primer | Comprendre pour agir |
The authors introduce us to river hydromorphology, a scientific discipline that has come of age, and explain the geomorphological characteristics of rivers, from the riverbed itself to the floodplain, that create the major types of habitat on which aquatic and terrestrial species depend. In the process, it becomes clear that the good ecological operation of rivers and their corridors depends on maintaining and restoring the natural geodynamic processes and the resulting geomorphological characteristics.
Good status of aquatic environments based on the scientific concepts of ecological engineering - n°8 | Rencontres |
The goal of this meeting was to shed new light on the issues involved in maintaining and restoring the quality of aquatic environments. The point was to take a new look at attaining good ecological status as defined by the European water framework directive (WFD) on the basis of ecological-engineering concepts, without undertaking a complete review of the methods used in this field.
