River Restoration Projects
This lecture presents case studies of river restoration projects, focusing on the Hermance River in Switzerland and the Candor River in France. The Hermance River restoration involved creating a more natural habitat, improving biodiversity, and managing flood risks. On the other hand, the Candor River restoration aimed to address erosion issues, enhance ecological diversity, and protect against floods. The projects involved various techniques such as channel widening, bank stabilization, and habitat creation. The lecture also discusses the challenges faced, including urbanization impacts, water quality issues, and the need for ongoing monitoring and community engagement.
