Climatechange Adaptation for and with Sediments
ClimASed will provide river managers with a strategy, place based actionplans, methodologies, guidelines & networks to increase capacity to embedclimate change impacts in sediment management strategies and local initiatives.
ClimASed will increase the uptake ofsediment management measures for long-term integrated and resilient rivermanagement for a changing climate affecting sediment load, transport andavailability, water quality and habitat suitability.
ClimASed will increase the capacityof North West Europe river authorities to include climate change impacts in sedimentmanagement strategies and deliver a joint strategy and action plans taken up inthe upstream, intermediate and downstream sections of rivers.
The pilot sites and case studies will come from the Scheldt (FR, BE),the River Shannon (IE), and the Rhine (GER).
Ixsane plays a key role to definesediment management strategies & actions plans in a climate changeperspective and supports their implementation, considering local and political challengesfrom river sources to estuaries. This is done in collaboration withinternational experts to consider soil and riverbank erosion, sedimenttransport and local sediment budget, and impacts of extreme climate for waterquality and sediment-based habitats.
The ClimASed project is funded bythe European INTERREG NWE programme and the ERDF fund.
