TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for assessing river restoration success based on a total of 49 indicators and 13 specific objectives elaborated for the restoration of low-to mid-order rivers in Switzerland.
Predicting joint frequency distributions of depth and velocity for instream habitat assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used survey data from 92 stream reaches in New Zealand to develop a model for the joint distribution of depth and velocity, and found that the bivariate distribution of relative velocity and relative depth could be described by a mixture of two end-member distributions, one bivariate normal and the other bivariate lognormal, each with fixed parameters.

A Bayesian network model for integrative river rehabilitation planning and management
TL;DR: Although this model uses a causal graph representation common to Bayesian networks, it does not limit itself to discrete‐valued nodes or conditional Gaussian distributions as required by most Bayesian network implementations.

Predicting the morphological and hydraulic consequences of river rehabilitation
TL;DR: In this paper, a morphological and hydraulic submodel of an integrative model is described, which is further subdivided into four modules predicting: channel morphology, flooding (dike overtopping, floodplain flooding and bed moving floods), velocity and depth distribution and riverbed siltation.

A mechanistic model of benthos community dynamics in the River Sihl, Switzerland
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a dynamic model of the functional groups of non-filamentous and filamentous algae, scrapers, collector-gatherers and predators of the benthos community in rivers.
