Création de chenaux de crues et restauration des échanges entre lit majeur et lit mineur sur la Vezouze | La Vezouze est un cours d’eau de deuxième catégorie piscicole de 75 kilomètres de long. Affluent de la Meurthe, elle draine un bassin versant essentiellement agricole de 560 km2. La Vezouze possède un régime de type pluvial et connaît une rapide répercussion des pluies sur son débit. Il en résulte des crues régulières mais souvent violentes dans le secteur urbanisé de Lunéville. | Lunéville, Floodplain restoration and reconnection of hydraulic annexes, France |

Flood control areas as an opportunity to restore estuarine habitat. Ecological Engineering 28(1), 55-63. | Intertidal areas in estuaries play a multi-functional role, from energy dissipation and mitigation of floods over provision of natural habitat to a contribution in the cycling and recycling of nutrients. Many of these intertidal areas have been claimed for urban, agricultural or industrial expansion. When considering restoration in a land-scarce environment, managed realignment is not always an option and thus other approaches need to be considered. In this paper we investigate the possibility to combine the concept of a flood control area (FCA) with nature development and the functions of intertidal areas, by use of simple sluice constructions to introduce a controlled reduced tide (CRT). Model results show the possibility to introduce acceptable tidal influence in FCAs. Nevertheless there are major differences with tidal characteristics of natural outer dike marshes: the spring-neap tidal range is strongly reduced, the tidal curve flattened. Also the relation between inundation time (IT) and inundation frequency (IF) shows strong distortion compared to the natural situation, with roughly doubled inundation times as compared with a natural outer dike marsh. This has important implications for nature and vegetation development. Further research and monitoring of test sites is necessary to conclude about the desirability of the implementation on larger scale of this concept. | Lippenbroek Regulated Tidal Exchange Scheme, Belgium |

Linking floodplain hydraulics and sedimentation patterns along arestored river channel: River Odense, Denmark | The links between floodplain hydraulics and deposition of sediment,organic matter and phosphorus were investigated along a 6 km re-meandered channel section of RiverOdense, Denmark. A 2D dynamic river and floodplain model was set up for the investigated floodplainarea. The flow model was validated against in situ measurements of flow velocities and depths duringa one-day field campaign in January 2012. The predicted duration of inundations, distances to inflow, flow velocities, and informationon microtopography were compared with sedimentation patterns on the floodplain. Three distinct flowregimes were predicted by the hydraulic model and were classified as small, medium and large inundation events according to spatial extent and inundation depth. The model predicts spatially and temporally changing zones of confluence on the floodplain due to variations in inundation depth. | Restoration of the Odense river, Denmark |

El agua en navarra | La política del agua está viviendo un profundo proceso de renovación en Europa. Esta política se fundamenta en los principios de la Directiva Marco del Agua, que obliga a una nueva planificación hidrológica. Los ejes de esta planificación pretenden favorecer el buen estado de las aguas al tiempo que garantizan su disponibilidad y su uso sostenible. Navarra está adaptando sus políticas al nuevo modelo europeo de gestión y administración del agua. Avanzar hacia una gestión más sostenible del agua requiere el compromiso y la corresponsabilidad de los diferentes agentes institucionales y sociales. | Fluvial and ecosystem restoration of the Arga-Aragon Rivers, Spain |
