Title Abstract Case study(ies)
BIOMURA Removal of heightned banks to stimulate the erosion and widening the river profile, intoruduction of rock-fill riffle to raise water levels during low and average flows, reopening of the side- channels and intoruduction of a system of wooden sluices to raise groundwater tables. Conservation of Mura banks, Slovenia
BIOMURA - Conservation of biodiversity of the Mura river in Slovenia The bed of the river Mura that flows through NE Slovenia is well preserved, especially in the middle and lower stream, where it is characterised by embankment erosion, deposition of the sand, flooding and side-channels. Deepening of the riverbed due to send accumulation behind the dams of hydropower stations in Austria, however, has resulted in a greater risk of flooding. There are no dams on Slovenian river section, but plans to alter this situation are resurfacing. Conservation of Mura banks, Slovenia
Case study: Biomura LIFE06NAT/SI/000066 The Lippenbroek Regulated Tidal Exchange (RTE) scheme is a pilot scheme for the so-called controlled reduced tide (CRT) concept which Belgian authorities are planning to apply to (sections of) numerous flood storage areas in the near future to create tidal habitats (e.g. at Kruibeke, where the first inundation will likely occur in 2011). The CRT concept involves the use of two exchange mediums, one high inlet medium (e.g. a weir/spillway or sluice/culvert), and a lower outlet medium, which may be capped with a gravity controlled sluice gate.

Telephone -Interview with PhD Josef Rosner Telephone interview given by PhD Josef Rosner on Monday 28/04/2014 No Tillage Field Trials in lower Austria
Economic aspects of mulch and direct seeding- reduction of soil treatment, which changes in the operational result have to be expected? comparison of different soil treating systems (conventional tillage, mulchseeding and direct seeding). By reducing tillage savings are possible. This is shown for different crops. No Tillage Field Trials in lower Austria

Case study:The Babina Restoration Project Until the 20th century vast areas of the Danube Delta faced only minimal human impacts through extensive fishery and reed harvesting. Since then the Danube Delta has undergone multiple human impacts like embankment, channelization and drainage. Moreover, large areas were diked and the polders used for agriculture. The Babina polder (2.100 ha) was reconnected to the Danube in 1994 and recovery has been monitored by the Danube Delta National Institute for Research and Development. Within a few years a redevelopment of the site-specific biodiversity occurred and ecosystem services like nutrient retention and fish recruitment became obvious. Additionally, the reconnected polder enable reed harvesting, grazing, fishing and ecotourism. Babina Restoration Project, Romania

The Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve is an area where governmental decision makers,
scientists and local communities co-operate to develop a pilot programme for the administration
of the territory and the waters. The objective is to harmonize the requirements of
the local populations with the necessity for conservation of natural processes and biological
resources.

The Fortuna Restoration Project The aim of the project was to connecting agricultural polder Fortuna (2.115 ha) to the Danube regime. Restoration of hydrological regime and hydrological functions means for this area, restoring and establishing the following functions: - habitat for plants and animals typical alluvial areas; - habitat and breeding area for fish and aquatic birds; - reservoir for biodiversity and providing genetic resources; - biocoridor and genetic exchange; - organic production; - biogeochemical circuit elements; - retention of sediments and pollutions; Black Sea biofilter.

Ormoz basins guidebook Ormož Basins are a wetland of exceptional national and international importance attracting both breeding and migrating bird species of conservation importance. This guidebook aims to show life in various forms thriving in what used to be an abandoned industrial area, saved from destruction and later declared a nature reserve dedicated to conservation of biodiversity providing relaxed, informative and high quality experience of nature. This guidebook presents history of the site, birds, management of the area and photos. LiveDrava - Riparian Ecosystem Restoration of the Lower Drava River in Slovenia
