ABSTRACT
The number of river restoration projects undertaken in the UK has increased rapidly over the last five years. However, schemes are still largely undertaken on an ad‐hoc basis rather than part of a co‐ordinated, strategic, catchment restoration strategy. Additionally, project level restoration is rarely initiated through a systematic approach that involves all stages from baseline studies through to design, installation, monitoring and post‐project appraisals. The need for both strategic and project levels to be undertaken effectively is necessary if the requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) are to be met. This directive has the potential to significantly increase the number of schemes, as restoration of surface water bodies has become a key duty of member states. There exists, therefore, a need for a holistic catchment scale approach to restoration to be adopted to maximise benefit to the fluvial systems and ensure compliance. This paper outlines key components of strategic and project level protocols for river restoration from a UK perspective.
