| Short description: |
The book is based on the social science research component of the FP5
project FLOBAR 2 'FLOodplain Biodiversity and Restoration 2: Integrated
natural science and socio-economic approaches to catchment flow
management'.
Despite the interest in restoring floodplains, very few schemes for restoring
functional floodplains have been put into practice in Europe until now. The
book explores the reasons behind this discrepancy between interest and
applications with an original and comparative analysis of the institutional
drivers and constraints of floodplain restoration in Europe. It explains why
so little projects have been successfully implemented, how recent policy
shifts are creating new opportunities for floodplain restoration and what
lessons for policy development and project management can be drawn
from in-depth analysis of past and present schemes.
