We want to thank all participants that were present at the European Rivers Summit 2021 in Lisbon, as well as those online on our WebApp. This certainly contributed to its success and the initiative created an outstanding opportunity for dialogue and interaction with other river lovers.
To help river lovers keep in touch and to keep sharing the summit message, we have gathered a list of participants that have shown interest in sharing a little bit more about themselves.
In case you were a participant and would still like to join the list, you’re welcome to fill in the Form and be included.

Feedback: It would be most enriching if we also put the focus on irrigation dams (a lot of them are done with this primary objectiv in mediterranean countrys, like in Portugal) and how to improve the ecological status of river segments just bellow dams (HMWB’s). Also on how can we could capture water for irrigation without dammaging rivers, or even better, contributing to refill water tables, wich is particularly relevant within CC’s and water scarcity predictions.

Feedback: Great work done. I’m focusing on urban river basins, and sub basins, as fractal form to organise cities into urban communities, eco-neighbourhoods. This being base of a regenerative relationship between cities and wider bioregions.
