Get a visual overview of the contribution to practice behind the main methods and prototype tools that we developed.
Ecological benefits of a sheltered channel parallel to the main river
The longitudinal dams minimize the effects of commercial navigation to protect the habitat of fish and macroinvertebrates.

Explore the details to get a glance of the innovative components, findings and implications to practice. Whenever possible, we also provide a link to the supporting datasets.
To aid the future design and maintenance, a set of diagrams allow to estimate both the equilibrium state and the time that takes for the bed load of the main channel to aggrade or deposit in the side channel.

Goals
Working in 8 themes, 20 projects contribute from the fundamental to the collaborative and integrated management of river interventions.
ProjectsWe join the events that the Netherlands Centre for River studies (NCR) promotes to discuss with communities of both research and practice.
About 20 partners among universities, research institutes, government organizations and consultancies contribute to our work. Explore the partners to look at all involved parties.
