If you are interested in dynamic river processes strategies and multi-functional river design, I would like to draw your attention to the DesignLab’s work at the ILA/ Chair of Christophe Girot, ETH Zurich, and, in particular, to our Pamphlet “Rising Waters, Shifting Lands”.

It’s pretty cool. There is quite the abundance of wildlife that is 100% dependent upon that river, and it supplies a huge diversity of ecosystems. I learned that the flooding and freezing are just a big part of the natural cycle of the river, but any people living near it may suffer some consequences during major flooding seasons.

Our rivers run fast with extreme weather and climate events experienced globally. With so many of our cities built on rivers, are we finally seeing the fallout from turning our creeks, and smaller waterways into drains, with limited ability to absorb groundwater before hitting our larger rivers?

Rivers everywhere are under throat – how to rethink their use in the face of engineering and environmental fantasists who both only see in one-dimensional terms is the challenge – I don’t know if this is addressed here – as I have yet to read this .
