Nature restoration

Re-create and protect nature. Get inspiration for restoring rivers and streams, learn about the values of rewetting peatlands and collaborate with landowners to find the best solutions.

Detention basin

Identify appropriate locations for flood detention basins using the watershed tool and flow paths. Detention volumes are created with terrain edit tools and the overall impact on flood extent is assessed using the Flash Flood Map. (5:02)

River re-meandering

Terrain editing tools are used for filling up a ditch and to create a natural remeandering stream that can support biodiversity and wildlife. Learn to edit cross-sections and see how you can use the soil balance to avoid soil transportation. (13:35)

Lake restoration

In the 19th century Lake Søborg, Denmark, was drained. Now, the plan is to recreate the lake. See this video for inspiration on how to start planning the rewetting of drained areas using terrain editing and surface water analyses. (23:48)

Surface water management at landscape scale

At this webinar you'll see how to develop surface water strategies and plan nature-based solutions. Guests: High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Environment Partnership

Protecting the natural habitat of frogs

Why do we make frog inventories? How do we find frog habitats? Fredrik Engdahl from Ekologigruppen talks about how he prepares for surveying amphibians with Scalgo Live.

Rewetting drained peatland to improve biodiversity

What does rewetting mean? Why is this important? And how is Scalgo Live used for successful rewetting? Ea Baden from Ekologigruppen will answer these questions.

Collaborating with farmers to improve water quality

Harriet Housam, a biologist and farm advisor at Westcountry Rivers Trust, collaborates with farmers to improve water management and environmental practices, enhancing water quality in watercourses.
