How much sand does a secondary channel yield?
The construction of a secondary channel creates an additional habitat for life in the river. But such a secondary channel also causes the flow in the navigation channel to slow down. The expected consequence: sanding and possible nuisance for shipping. But does that effect always occur? And to what extent?

RiverCare was featured on the DeltaLink edition about rivers
The Room for the River programme aimed at increasing flood safety by creating space for water. However, when considering integrated management, there are other aspects to take into account such as biodiversity and navigability.
