Great interest for the "Week of River Restoration"
The fourth national congress on river restoration held in Bologna from 22 to 26 October 2018 at the Third Tower of the Emilia-Romagna Region in Bologna ended with a large participation.
Organized by CIRF, Emilia-Romagna Region and Central Emilia Land Reclamation Consortium as part of the networking activities of the European project LIFE + RINASCE, the event was conceived as a real "river rehabilitation week" and was organized in various formative moments, workshops, thematic sessions and field trips.
The set of initiatives has registered a broad adhesion, involving public bodies, professionals in the sector, the world of scientific research, associations and economic operators, for over 250 total presences, in a broad discussion on the most important topics in Italy and abroad, giving space to the most significant experiences carried out in Italy and in Europe for the improvement of the ecological status of watercourses and, more generally, for the sustainability of the hydraulic risk prevention policies.
Several moments of exchange of experiences: among them the international afternoon session of 24 October dedicated to some European case studies of significant river redevelopment also for the Italian reality, as well as to the first results of the international HyMoCARES project, of which CIRF is a partner, and the two days dedicated to "on the field" experiences in Forlì (October 25th) and along the LIFE RINASCE channels (October 26th).
The conference paperscan already be consulted online, and further in-depth materials will be published as soon as they are available.
