The RESTORE project aims to share knowledge and promote best practices in river restoration through an online case study wiki. The wiki provides a shared repository for river restoration case studies from across Europe, allowing practitioners to easily access and contribute relevant information. Users can search the database or create new case studies using simple forms to capture key details. The wiki is intended to support an online community of river restoration practitioners and help spread knowledge about successful projects.
