 The easiest way to assess the potential for introducing this measure is simply by having a site visit and see if there are any parts of the riparian areas where vegetation has been removed and where trees, bushes and other vegetation can be reinstated. Re-planting of vegetation should be made from local plants.
-It should be assessed if the reinstating of vegetation will affect the peaks of the floods in the rivers, as vegetation can lead to lower capacities to convey floods. Vegetation might increase the roughness of the river channel, preventing the water from flowing into the areas beside the river in situations with high flows. Such assessments can be made with use of hydraulic tools, such as HEC-RAS (see Chapter 9.1 for references).

 The riparian zone or riparian area is the interface between land and a river or stream. The vegetation along the riparian zone provides multiple functions to the river and its ecosystem. The vegetation will provide allochthonous, organic material to the river, shelter and shading to the areas near the shore, and stabilize the soil by the river, thus reduce the runoff of erodible particles, nutrients and potentially other pollutants from the land areas. Vegetation along the river can lead to higher biodiversity in the river, as well as along the shore.

 The growth of the new vegetation can be controlled simply by a site visit, or by analysing satellite or aerial photos. No maintenance should be needed if a natural flood regime controls the expansion of the vegetation. If the vegetation grows into the river channel and this might be a risk to the flood capacity of the river, the vegetation at these locations should be cut regularity, e.g. every 2-3 years.
