The partners of the Spare Project are as diverse as they are at home in different Alpine countries, comprising as they do a university, two research agencies, two official bodies, a regional office, and two environmental organisations. Together they demonstrate how river management can be improved above and beyond administrative, cultural and technical boundaries.No publisherrivers and streamsannual report 20162017/08/29 05:00:00 GMT+1News“A picture speaks a thousand words” - SPARE Project communicating through multimedia

https://www.cipra.org/en/news/spare-alpine-rivers-as-society2019s-lifelines
What is the state of the Alpine rivers? How can we bring those responsible and other interested parties to committing themselves to holistic river management? The SPARE project strives to answer these and other questions. CIPRA and eight additional partners have launched the three-year project at a two-day meeting in Vienna in early February 2016.No publisherrivers and streamswater cycle2016/03/17 05:00:00 GMT+1NewsAlpine rivers are not renewable

https://www.cipra.org/en/news/4183
The Lech river in Bavaria/D is already being used on a massive scale for electricity generation, and only the stretch at Augsburg/D remains undeveloped. But even this section of the river could very soon become the site of a hydroelectric power plant. The expansion plans are not an isolated case; rather, they reflect a trend throughout the Alps, and one that is gathering momentum.No publisherhydropowerrenewable energyhydro-engineering - mountain torrent controlrivers and streamsrivers and streams - impairmentsrivers and streams2010/11/01 05:00:00 GMT+1NewsObstacles and facilitations for the movement of fishes

An inventory of all the artificial barriers that impede the flow of rivers has found out that French rivers are interrupted by 60,000 dams, weirs, locks, mills etc. The inventory has been recently published as a online map where the works are shown divided by department, municipality or watercourse. All these works obstruct the movement of migratory aquatic organisms and the transport of sediments, thereby affecting ecosystems.No publisherrivers and streams - impairmentsrivers and streams2010/05/05 05:00:00 GMT+1NewsSlovenia: plans for a series of hydraulic power plants
