| Interventi estesi di riqualificazione fluviale lungo gli affluenti del medio corso del Fiume Dese | The Veneto Region, through the †œPlan for diffuse pollution prevention and restoration of water in the draining basins of the Venice Lagoon† financed measures of re-calibration of riverbeds aimed at the renaturation of the hydraulic web, to increase the time of permanence of water and phytodepuration processes in the draining basin. In this framework, the Consorzio Acque Risorgive implemented a series of extended interventions on the area under its responsibility. This case study was implemented as part of these interventions. In particular, it aimed at re-structuring the effluents of the mid course of the Dese river (Rio S. Martino, Rio S. Ambrogio and Scolo Desolino). Such effluents are mostly draining channels, draining water from agricultural fields to the Dese river. The primary objective was the reduction of the amount of N and P reaching the Venice lagoon through phytodepuration. However, at the same time the project carried out the restoration of the draining channel web aimed at reducing flooding issues affecting the area. The following measures were implemented: †¢ Riparian buffer zones †¢ Creation of wetlands †¢ River bed enlargement †¢ Creation and reconnection of floodplain and new buffer strips †¢ Channel naturalization, creation of new meandering channel |

| SMIVAL Rapport d'activité 2009 (Activity report 2009) | The SMIVAL (Syndicat Mixte Interdépartemental de la Vallée de la Lèze - an association of 24 communes localised in the Lèze's valley) has been created in 2003. It is responsible for leading, for defining and for implementing actions for a qualitative and quantitative use of the Lèze and its tributaries and for preventing its floods. For preventing floods, an actions programme (called PAPI) has been set up. One action refers to the plantation of floodbreaking hedgerows in order to slow down the flood peak. Hedgerows are located across the flooding plain of the river and they are regularly spaced every 300 to 500 metres. Partially obstructing the flow, hedges can slow running water to dissipate the force and reduce the impacts of flooding. This is a cumulative effect that is measured across the entire valley, with a significant decrease in rates. According to thre PAPI, 75 km of floodbreaking hedgerows were initially planned to be planted until 2016. |

| SMIVAL Rapport d'activité 2010 (Activity report 2010) | Raison première de la création du SMIVAL, la prévention des inondations constitue une large majorité des activités du syndicat. Implanté localement, le SMIVAL constitue une interface entre les habitants, les élus et les administrations de l’État et des collectivités. Son rôle porte ainsi sur la mise en exergue des besoins du bassin, sur la déclinaison locale des politiques nationales et régionales, sur la mise en œuvre d’aménagements et sur la sensibilisation des populations et des élus locaux. | Floodbreaking hedgerows in Southern France |

| Komplex élőhelyrehabilitációs tevékenység az Őrségi Nemzeti Park Igazgatóság működési területén.Complex habitat reconstruction in the Őrség National Park | There are three measures applied in the national park area primarily for nature rehabilitation, but all measures have water retention aspects. (1) Creating ponds in the forest where run off from forestry roads are collected. The main goal is to create safe breeding ground for reptiles instead of temporary sumps on the roads. 50 ponds created with the total surface 1,100m2. (2) Re-vegetating shelterbelts (groves, wetlands) in agricultural land where 50 years ago these landscape elements were destroyed for agro efficiency reasons. 12 areas of revegetation, their total cover 12,000m2 in an area of 153 ha. (3) Building closures in the drainage channels to enable the flooding of the alder (Alnus) forest and wet meadow to improve their natural quality an important site in the ecological corridor along the stream Csörnöc. The drainage channel's watershed is 42 ha. |

| Hopital cantonnal, zone sud; toiture végétalisée | In 1973, it has been decided to install green roofs on new buildings of the southern area of the Hospital City in Geneva. The aim was first to rebuild a biotope which had disapeared in the urban area; architects became aware of the benefits that green roofs could provide on water retention only later, in 1989. | Green roofs in Geneva, Switzerland |
