Abstract

The Dutch rivers are subject to a wide range of measures. Room for the River projects reduce flood risk, removal of bank protection enhances ecology, sediment nourishments benefit navigation. The STW research programme RiverCare (2014-2019) studies the long-term effects of these measures. This article highlights the RiverCare projects of four TU Delft-related researchers.
