Riverbed (alluvial mattress)The reconstitution of the alluvial mattress consists in leveling-up the river bed and/or reactivating the bank erosion in order to stop the incision of the river bed. It can allow better connection with side arms, level-up the water level at low flow periods, diversifying flows (depth, substrate, speed), diversify habitats and increase retention times. - 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/riverbed-alluvial-mattresshttps://demo-water.devel5cph.eea.europa.eu/freshwater/admin/++resource++plone-logo.svg
