2022.01.20 - Revitalization projects usually involve a great deal of expenditure in terms of personnel, finances, resources and time. Conflicts related to land acquisition or agriculture are not uncommon. Carefully planned revitalization by hand can elegantly overcome many of these hurdles - especially in small rivers. With simple means, hard structures can be removed, root stocks installed, small bank cracks punctured, flow obstacles induced and thus morphologically valuable effects achieved. This is provided that flood protection is guaranteed, drainage continues to function and existing boundary conditions are respected. When community service workers are deployed, amazing things can be achieved, and this within a short time and for little money, as the example of the Chräbsbach in the canton of Zurich shows.
