The Significance of Ecohydraulic and Geomorphic Uncertainties in River Restoration
1.1 The Quantifiable Continuum of Uncertainty. Notice that once uncertainties are acknowledged as unquantified uncertainties, increased knowledge about the uncertainties will determine their position on the continuum.. .. .. 11 1.2 Typology for sources and degree of uncertainty. Adapted from Van Asselt's (2000) proposed typology for uncertainties in integrated assessment.. .. 12 1.3 Some potent...
متن کاملRiver restoration
[1] River restoration is at the forefront of applied hydrologic science. However, many river restoration projects are conducted with minimal scientific context. We propose two themes around which a research agenda to advance the scientific basis for river restoration can be built. First, because natural variability is an inherent feature of all river systems, we hypothesize that restoration of ...
متن کاملRiver Restoration and Meanders
Among the most visually striking river restoration projects are those that involve the creation of a new channel, often in a new alignment and generally with a form and dimensions that are different from those of the preproject channel. These channel reconstruction projects often have the objective of creating a stable, single-thread, meandering channel, even on rivers that were not historicall...
متن کاملUncertainties in selected river water quality data
Monitoring of surface waters is primarily done to detect the status and trends in water quality and to identify whether observed trends arise from natural or anthropogenic causes. Empirical quality of river water quality data is rarely certain and knowledge of their uncertainties is essential to assess the reliability of water quality models and their predictions. The objective of this paper is...
متن کاملSustainability and River Restoration
One of the major problems causing the accelerating widespread destruction and degradation of the natural environment is the undervaluing of the protection and restoration of environmental resources that takes place in the decision making process. This paper argues that non-market values need to be incorporated in the benefit estimation process to make the concept of sustainability operational u...
