Umweltbundesamt 2019: Systematische Gewässerentwicklung an der Wern. Video. Online: https://youtu.be/d3QDezCW0SU

The river Wern in Franconia was modified in the 1930s in order to enable agriculture right up to the edge of the river. As a result, biotope and species diversity declined significantly. Since 1995, the Wern has been gradually regaining a near-natural state through systematic, sectional restoration measures.

This video explains restoration measures at the river Wern. The project manager shares his experiences in an interview. The video is part of a series of ten videos on river restoration projects in Germany, which were created for the information portal river restoration of the German Federal Environment Agency (uba.de/renaturierung).

A measurable, positive effect of restoration measures often only occurs after several years. Especially for the biological quality component fish, at least 10 years must be expected.
