What have you learned so far
• Hydrology • Atmospheric systems • Rainfall-runoff relationship • Urban hydrology • Water treatment • Physical and chemical characteristics of lakes • Nutrient cycles • Food web • Marine Systems • Environmental problems
RESTORATION OF RISEGERGA RIVER
Time to put it all together!
VVR111 – Hydrology and Aquatic Ecology
Project - Riseberga River
• “Consultancy” work
• Restoration of areas of Riseberga River
– Riseberga park (groups 1, 2, 7, 8)
– Toftängen (groups 3, 4, 9, 10)
– Käglinge road (groups 5, 6, 11, 12)
• Group work
”Interactions in groups are like among animals”
•Group interactions are important and can be
handled
•Meet each group (10 min) for discussion 1 Nov
(13-15) and 2 Nov (10-12)
•Possibility to discuss potential problems in the
group
•Discuss solutions and how to handle them
VVR111 – Hydrology and Aquatic Ecology
Steps
• Visit to the areas to be restored (27 Oct)
• Do a first sketch map of your restoration plan (1, 2 Nov)
• Improve your first sketch based on some more theory (8, 10, 17, 22 Nov) – More hydrology, some hydraulics, restoration technics,
biodiversity, EU water directives, decision support systems
• Write a preliminary report about your project – get comments
• Write the final report
• Present your project (8, 9 Dec)

Practical issues
• Buses leave 10:15 from the Eco-house • Toftanäs wetland park at 10:45 hs • Sallerupsvägens wetland area at 11:15-12:00 hs • Respective group at respective project area from about
12:30-15:00 hs • Return about 16:00 • Maps and other information, already available on our
home page, will be also distributed at the bus. • Bring warm clothes, umbrellas, rain coats,
wellingtons, lunch/snack, camera, pen and paper.

Suggestions on how to start your project
Start with the large issues, e.g.
What do we want to do with the area?
What is our vision!
Which are the possibilities with the area?
Which are the restrictions of the area?
Requirements
•Increase nutrient retention
•Increase biodiversity
•Increase ecosystem services, i.e. make the area
better for the people
