The agricultural development of the last decades has modified the Odra fluvial system so deeply, consequently the river planform has changed, also loosing part of its lateral functionality due to the construction of lateral levees, resulting in lower inundability of the floodplain and invasion of the public hydraulic domain in comparison with a reference state. The disapearance of the riparian corridor makes easier the flooding frequency, even though the high flows are not necessarily too high.

    Key features of the case study

    Site description

    Loss of lateral connectivity due to streambank elevation for flood protection. Previous to the restoration project
    Absence of riparian corridor

    Measures selection

    The project aimed to compensate the flood protection constructions by improving and creating the riparian vegetation.
    the measures include:

    • Removal of sediments and waste from the river channel
    • Silvicultural treatments (sowing and plantation of native species)
    • Morphological recovery at some channel reaches

    Success criteria

    Ecological response

    Hydromorphological response

    Monitoring before and after implementation of the project

    Socio-economic aspects

    Extra background information

    The fertile floodplain is used for irrigation crops, including cultivated beetroot, alfalfa, corn and fruit trees. Also cereal can be found in the lands of the Paramo and formerly the vineyard was very important, but rare actually.
