THE POTENTIAL OF BARRIER REMOVAL TO RECONNECT EUROPE'S RIVERS
|
|
|
Out of over 30,000 assessed barriers along larger rivers across Europe the study identifies 858 barriers with high reconnection potential in large and medium-sized rivers, which would allow to reconnect about 14,400 km of rivers. In the EU27, this figure would amount to 732 barriers with high reconnection potential, allowing to reconnect 11,500 km of rivers.

We invite you to join us on the journey to celebrate and transform our rivers towards resilience and ensure our rivers are there for our future generations. Global changes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have given us more impetus for a paradigm shift and/or movement: from achieving healthy rivers to achieving resilient rivers. The road to resilience can be a complex journey with the interdependence of environmental, social and economic outcomes. Only through unlocking the transformative power of partnerships can we, together, achieve resilient rivers, resilient communities and resilient economies.
