Vast amounts of information on Austria's running waters can be called up on the Internet and also entered by the River Watchers. There is more dam building work going on along Austria's waterways than there are efforts to restore the natural state. The aim of the River Watch Campaign is therefore to bring about a decisive turnaround in hydraulic engineering. The information gathered by River Watchers is designed to put a stop to damming and initiate a return to near-natural conditions. At the end of the year a summary statement is to be drawn up on every kilometre of river that has been dammed, every planned change and every re-naturisation project, and compiled into a "map of areas at risk".
