Overview

A national information and advisory centre on all aspects of river restoration and enhancement, and sustainable river management

The River Restoration Centre (RRC) exists to promote, facilitate and support best practice in river, watercourse and floodplain management across the UK. It aims to provide a focal point for the exchange and dissemination of information and expertise relating to river restoration and enhancement. The Centre also provides advice on site-specific technical issues through a network of experienced river restoration practitioners.

RRC is a non-profit making organisation which aims to offer impartial advice to enable practitioners and clients, to gain maximum benefit from current experiences in a variety of easily accessible ways. The RRC is not a project design or management consultancy.

RRC became the successor body to the River Restoration Project on 1st April 1998.

The River Restoration Centre's Business Plan sets out a high-level framework to guide the delivery of services and the RRC programme of work over the five-year period from 2010 to 2015. The RRC programme is set out around three core areas of activity:

• Knowledge exchange - on river restoration and management activities;
• Case specific advice and assessment - of river projects and the ongoing management of rivers;
• Guidance and mentoring - to inform best practice river management and restoration.
