RiverCare has made a short movie about our field work in side channels, the river bank and its floodplain. This is the second episode in a series of four about different aspects of river research. Here we show our efforts to assess the ecological and morphological effects of river measures. For additional information about RiverCare read our latest newsletter or contact us for additional information. Share this video and enjoy viewing!
