Why restore river continuity ? | Book, | Note / data sheet (including project management reports) |
In France, more than 60000 structures - dams, locks, weirs and mills - have been listed on rivers and are potential obstacles to river continuity. Important regulatory texts focus on biological continuity between major natural sites and within aquatic environments. In practical terms, these regulatory texts lead us to increase our collective efforts and actions in favour of restoring river continuity.
Towards the restoration of rivers and aquatic environments - A collection of river hydromorphology restoration examples | Recueils d'expériences |
The collection presents more than 60 examples of river hydromorphology restoration undertaken over the past 20 years throughout France. These actions aim to preserve river hydromorphology or to re-establish hydromorphological processes of rivers.
Climate change, impacts on aquatic environments and consequences for management - n°2 | Meetings |
Building, on a national scale, sustainable dialogue between scientists and water managers in order to address the recognised climate change, that was the objective of this seminar. This dossier provides an overview of the current knowledge that was presented, the points of view expressed, and the questions raised over.
Drug residues in aquatic environments. Needs and tools for monitoring and risk evaluation - n°1 | Meetings |
Monitoring drug residues in our aquatic environments and evaluating the risk for the environment and human health was at the core of this seminar. The objective? Set down the basics for a joint effort programme to increase knowledge and contribute in developing the national inter-ministerial plan on drug residues in water.
Monitoring waterbird populations in three major wetland complexes of Sub-Saharan Africa | Study report |
Millions of waterbirds migrate each year through Asia, Europe and Africa. These birds are generally widely dispersed during the breeding season, but during the dry season in the Sub-Saharan wetlands, many of them concentrate in huge flocks. The dry season, approximately October to March, is therefore a particularly good time to census waterbirds in West and Central Africa. A three-year programme (2006-2008) was initiated by the “Office national de la chasse et de la faune sauvage” (ONCFS), in order to simultaneously census birds in this extensive region.
