Possible restoration, rehabilitation and mitigation measures

• Increase flood frequency and duration in riparian zones or floodplains
• Shallow water courses
• Initiate natural channel dynamics to promote natural regeneration
• Introduce large wood
• Develop riparian forest
• Adjust land use to develop riparian vegetation
• Revegetate riparian zones
• Improve backwaters
