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.

Domains Abstract This document contains a brief summary (the so-called two-pagers) of all the subprojects in RiverCare and serves as background information for the knowledge dissemination days on October 31 and November 1, 2016 and the mid-term review on November 2, 2016. RiverCare is a 5.7 million-euro research programme, in which universities, government, knowledge-institutes and high-end consultancy firms work together on the challenges in river research and river management. RiverCare was granted in 2013 by the Technology Foundation (STW) of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), started effectively in 2014 and will end in December 2019. There are 16 PhD-students, 3 postdocs and 2 junior researchers working in RiverCare at 5 different universities in The Netherlands. View publication	View
