  • Description:
    The project was designed to help Member States implement the Water Framework Directive by demonstrating how floodplains and their associated wetlands can contribute to sustainable management of water resources within river basins. To achieve this, the project would: 1) Develop and demonstrate tools to: Model the effects of changing land management on water flow Identify the costs and benefits of different restoration and management options. Involve stakeholders in the appraisal and decision-making process 2) Determine how European and national policy would need to change to facilitate restoration of flood and coastal plain wetlands. 3) Facilitate planning and implementation of floodplain restoration across Europe through dissemination of guidelines and results.
