The objective of this map is to showcase which wetlands are suitable for reconnection with the main river.

Upscaling potential

"Approximately 88000 hectares is highly suitable for riverine reconnection - that is roughly 123,000 football fields"

Upscaling potential maps

The map below shows the suitable riverine wetlands for reconnection. Wetlands in green are highly suitable for a reconnection.
