ArrayCRCWSC factsheets on strategies for restoring urban waterways
08/02/2019
The CRCWSC has just released 13 factsheets about improving the ecological function of urban waterways.
They are designed to walk practitioners through the nine components of repairing or designing a living stream site on a flowing urban waterway, and to support them in working out which actions to take at the site scale and the catchment scale.
Each factsheet gives the practitioner strategies to follow and the situations where the strategy will be most suitable and effective. Actions, rationales, and the relevant technical guidelines to follow are outlined for each strategy, as are clear diagrams and a list of useful supporting documents.
The factsheets in the set are:
- Repairing flow: what to do at the site
- Repairing flow: what to do in the catchment
- Repairing geomorphology: what to do at the site and in the catchment
- Repairing longitudinal connectivity: what to do at the site and in the catchment
- Repairing lateral connectivity: what to do at the site and in the catchment
- Repairing vertical connectivity: what to do at the site and in the catchment
- Repairing riparian function: what to do at the site
- Reducing nutrients: what to do at the site
- Reducing nutrients: what to do in the catchment
- Repairing water quality: what to do at the site
- Repairing water quality: what to do in the catchment
- Repairing biota: what to do at the site
- Repairing biota: what to do in the catchment
