3 Improving ecosystem services and measures - 3.3 Examples of river and floodplain restoration
With increasing awareness, examples of river-floodplain systems restoration measures or works aiming to improve river-floodplain systems function are getting rising. In this sense, here we presented two examples aiming to improve river-floodplain systems conditions. One of them is work from the Danube river basin, which examines river-floodplain restoration potentials and showing broad sense collaboration perspective in the international river basin. The other is the Skjern River Restoration, which is one of the successful examples of river-floodplain restoration measures.
