Catchment case studies: partial applications of the hierarchical multi-scale framework. Deliverable 2.1 part 4
Cas tests: applications partielles du système hiérarchique multi-échelle. Deliverable 2.1 Part 4
Résumé
The research objective for Deliverable 2.1 is to develop a process-based, multi-scale, hierarchical framework to support river managers in assessing the hydromorphological character of rivers, exploring the causes of hydromorphological problems, and devising sustainable management solutions. Part 4 of Deliverable 2.1 provides four partial applications of the framework described in Part 1 to case study catchments (River Tweed, UK; River Loire, France; River Tagliamento, Italy; Rivers Lech and Lafnitz, Austria). These case studies are mainly confined to the delineation and characterisation phases of the framework, but they incorporate additional environmental settings to the complete case studies provided in Part 3.
