The work of FLOBAR2 at a glance...
FLOBAR2 has four main objectives. The work towards these four objectives has been divided into 7 sub-projects (known as work packages and labelled WP1-7):
- Objective 1: To develop scientific guidelines for the application of river flow prescriptions which benefit floodplain ecosystems while maintaining acceptable levels of flood control.(WP1)
- Objective 2: To quantify aspects of the relationships between hydrological inputs to a floodplain and plant response measured in terms of water consumption, growth and the diversity of regeneration strategies.(WP2, WP3, WP4 and WP5)
- Objective 3: To investigate the flow resistance associated with woody riparian vegetation using field studies and mathematical and numerical modelling.(WP6)
- Objective 4: To investigate and compare the effectiveness of selected institutional arrangements for restoring floodplain environments at different spatial scales and in different national/local settings. (WP7).
The IRS research team was involved in the work packages WP7 and WP1.
