This layer contains the inspections and controls carried out by the SICOPOL service of the Water Management Administration.

Status of the authorization demands.

This layer contains the distances to hydrological monitoring stations for which authorisations must first be clarified with the Service Hydrologie (red) or for which the latter must at least be informed (orange and yellow).

Restoration of the connection between the river and its floodplain, oxbow lake reconnection, floodplain extensification regarding land use in order to promote water retention and obtain periodic local inundations downstream. Reactivate a part of the alluvial plain by lowering soil level, thus creating an artificial alluvial plain. Measure promoting aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity of wetlands as well.

Riverbed diversification through natural substrate supply and/or through the incorporation of structural elements such as stones, rocks, stumps or trunks, in order to recreate a nature-like structure and composition of the bed load, with a low flow channel, a variability of depths and a diversity of flow rates, thus creating microhabitats for the aquatic flora and fauna.

Enable an autonomous dynamic development of the river within clearly defined zones (ideally within a river corridor), leading to the formation of riverbed and riverbanks’ structures compliant with the river typology.

Restoration of a near-natural water and sediment balance. Near-natural flow conditions (in particular an ecological minimum flow) at individual structures such as transversal structures, impoundment areas or diversions, by removing or reconstructing transversal structures, removal or shortening backwater areas or abandoning or reducing diversions.

Triggering of river dynamics through placement of flow deflectors such as dead wood or rocks, in order to initiate the formation of diversified structures within the riverbed and the riverbanks (hydrodynamic scour, sedimentation zones, lateral bars, riverbank failure, etc.), creating microhabitats for aquatic flora and fauna.

Restoration of a balanced, near-natural water balance in the entire catchment area of a surface water body. Near-natural urban water management, through measures for retention, infiltration and evaporation before the discharge of precipitation water.

Riverbanks improvement by permanent removal of heavy stabilization techniques or by their replacement with plant engineering solutions, in order to recreate near-natural riverbanks with typical vegetation and diversified structures, thus creating microhabitats for aquatic flora and fauna.
