Abstract

One of the specific technical and scientific objectives of the URBEM research project is "to develop innovative urban watercourse rehabilitation techniques for use in future schemes". This objective is covered by Work Package 8 - New techniques for urban river rehabilitation (WP8). The recommendations on how to naturalise flow regimes is the first work document prepared in WP8. Information from Work Package 2 - Existing Case Studies, was used to define current methods for renaturalising watercourse flow. The recommendations are divided into 5 chapters, namely, Characterisation of flow regimes, Modifications of flow regimes in urban areas, Water Framework Directive and flow regimes, Procedures for re-naturalising flow regimes and Recommendations on how to re-naturalise flow regimes.
