Welcome to the FORECASTER web-based tool! This is a knowledge and information system relating hydromorphology and ecology of European rivers. The system presents a compilation of case studies describing the output from restoration and rehabilitation projects aiming at improving the ecological status of different river systems. The information presented in these pages has been compiled thanks to the contributions of scientists and water authorities across Europe. It is intended to aid practitioners in river rehabilitation and restoration projects by presenting experiences about success or failure of different restoration and rehabilitation measures. The information is available for use with due acknowledgement of the original source.

The information has been organized in such a way that users can select case studies according to hydromorphological pressures addressed, restoration or rehabilitation measures implemented, or the effects of these pressures and measures on the physical environment (Hydromorphological Quality Elements) and biota (Biological Quality Elements). In addition, in the page Case studies all the projects are presented in a Google map to provide a better idea of their geographical distribution.

This web-based tool has been developed as part of the project FORECASTER funded by the IWRM-Net and Delft Cluster.
