Levelling of dams/ longitudinal barriersLevelling longitudinal barriers allows re-establishing fluvial dynamics and ecological continuity. The aim is to restore the slope and longitudinal profile of the river, to restore natural water flows, to allow for the solid transport (sediment) to take place, toᅠ diversify flows (depth, substrate, speed), diversify habitats and related flora and fauna. - Based on Stella definitions, adapted by NWRM project experts and validated by the European Commissionhttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/resources/glossary/levelling-of-dams-longitudinal-barriershttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/++resource++plone-logo.svg
