Abstract

In the context of increasing renewable energy need to tackle climate change driver, emerging wisdom regarding freshwater ecological protection, and increasing flood risk due to weather pattern changes, river management was never been that stretched between conflicting goals. To adapt to such environmental and societal changes, sustainable management strategies should be implemented. Their design rises crucial questions, as how the responsible use of the resource can be integrated into high efficient river management. This contribution synthesizes and presents the results of many pieces of research on sustainable river use and on the institutionalization of river restoration processes. This study goes beyond the theoretical approach and is based on the observation of cases already carried out, e.g., the restoration of the Isar in Munich (Germany). This contribution shows the complexity of restoration projects considering its various objectives, the constellation of the institutions concerned and the game of local actors. The discussion highlights the decisive drivers and mechanisms for resilient river management. More particularly, polycentric governance and participatory planning are identified as success factors.
