    Key features of the case study

    Site description

    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.

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

    Absence of riparian corridor
