The general introduction of the EU lays the conceptual foundations of ecological rehabilitation and restoration and the resilience of ecosystems and aquatic environments.
The concepts of ecological and hydrological continuity, river morphology and hydrogeomorphology are explained and illustrated.
A field trip is an opportunity to analyze the issues, to pose hypotheses of functioning and to evaluate the impacts.
The practical exercises of the course are preferably directly linked to the field.
The main tools and know-how for the reintroduction of species are presented and accompanied by illustrative practical exercises:
- Animal model practical exercises: reintroduction of a vulture population
- Plant model practical exercises: transplantation.
- Riverbank practical training: and the notion of a turquoise network
The main impacts of soil sealing and interventions on aquatic environments (maintenance and development) and the methods for evaluating these impacts, accompanied by illustrative practical exercises:
- Water law practical training: evaluation of the impacts of soil sealing and hydrological compensation.
- Hydrogeomorphological practical exercises: analysis of historical and current hydraulic continuities.
Finally, the UE proposes to the learners to cross ecological and hydrological continuities and to evoke optimized restoration tracks.
