NCR is the leading cooperative alliance between all major Dutch institutes for river studies. We integrate knowledge, facilitate discussion and promote excellent science.

RiverCare

Intro

Rivercare is a research programme in which the partners of NCR with several other public and private parties collaborate to monitor the consequences of river interventions which are now constructed in the Room for the River programme and the Delta Programme.

The monitoring data will be used to improve the fundamental understanding of the behavior of rivers, map the effects of the interventions for hydraulics, morphology and ecology and to improve the current models. The data, knowledge and models will be used to improve the design and cut maintenance costs of interventions while supporting collaborative and integrated management.
