Nous prévoyons d’organiser régulièrement des webinaires afin de présenter des projets et des méthodes pertinents pour la revitalisation des cours d’eau et l’assainissement de la force hydroélectrique. Vous trouverez ci-dessous les prochains webinaires avec des informations sur le contenu et la langue des présentations et le lien vers l’inscription.
Nous recevons volontiers des suggestions pour d’autres webinaires (forum, e-mail).
Certain hydropower plants operation results into the phenomenon of hydropeaking. Many studies have now demonstrated hydropeaking negative effects on fish and aquatic macroinvertebrates, but still few have paid attention to riverine vegetation. This is unfortunate given that riparian and aquatic plants constitute the bulk of the biomass in any cross-section of a stream or river and fulfil vital functions for fluvial ecosystems. Prof. Dr. María D. Bejarano from the Polytechnic University of Madrid will ground on her research to show how the early life stages in a plant’s life cycle are affected by hydropeaking; which species and specific life stages are more sensitive and resistant to hydropeaking; what sub daily water-level variables are key in explaining hydropeaking impacts on riverine plant species; and how this knowledge may be translated into new, effective ideas for restoring riverine areas along hydroepaking rivers.
❓: At the end of the presentation, participants are invited to stay for an active discussion (15′).
🇬🇧: The presentation will be in English.
