Abstract: Experience and knowledge of river-restoration schemes are generally available at the reach scale. However, there are problems with the application of this knowledge at the scale of large urbanised catchments which relate to understanding the system and predicting the impact of management strategies. This paper considers problems of developing a perceptive and efficient rehabilitation strategy for a large urbanised catchment, with specific reference to the River Tame in the West Midlands. Consideration is given to (a) rainfall-runoff relationships, (b) assessment of water quality and ecological status, and (c) predicting the impact of various management strategies.

Urban wet-weather flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the literature related to combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflow, and stormwater discharges, which is composed of three basic subareas: combined sewer overflow (CSO), sanitary sink overflow (SSO), and storm water discharge (SWD).

Turbidity dynamics during spring storm events in an urban headwater river system: the Upper Tame, West Midlands, UK.
TL;DR: An urban headwater basin responses can provide useful insights into the generation of contaminant waves, and offer vital early-warning systems for pollution events propagating downstream, through a turbidity analysis of multiple storm events in spring 2001.

Application of physical habitat simulation (PHABSIM) modelling to modified urban river channels
D. J. Booker,M. J. Dunbar +1 more
TL;DR: The physical habitat simulation (PHABSIM) system is a well-established hydro-ecological model that provides a suite of tools for the numerical modelling of hydraulic habitat suitability for fish and invertebrate species as mentioned in this paper.

Macroinvertebrate Taxonomic and Functional Trait Compositions within Lotic Habitats Affected By River Restoration Practices
TL;DR: Examining the functional and structural properties of taxa across distinct biotopes can provide a greater understanding of biotic responses to river restoration works and help to better understand the ecological implications of rehabilitation practices and guide more effective management strategies.
Perspectives on the potential for reconciliation ecology in urban riverscapes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors draw a distinction between river restoration and rehabilitation on the one hand and reconciliation ecology on the other, before reviewing key factors relating to possible habitat creation and improvement methods for heavily engineered urban riverscapes, within the context of reconciliation ecology.
