Ecological recovery on the Pripyat River Basin,
UkraineLarge or small, rural or industrialised, maritime
or continental, at Mott MacDonald we have been engaged in all
aspects of river basin management around the world.
Flood management of the River Limpopo
This was a study to develop a modelling tool to assist in the
planning of flood management projects in Mozambique, following
catastrophic floods in 2000. The work included development of a
full hydrodynamic model of the river system in order to allow the
evaluation of a range of potential flood management options to
reduce the risk of damage from flooding, particularly in the areas
around Chokwe and Xai Xai. The model covers some 200km of river, on
both the main Limpopo and the Elephantes.
Pripyat Transboundary River Basin
Management Project
The project’s objective is to develop bi-lateral understanding and
a common management approach in all parts of this basin of 100
000km
2 lying approximately half in Ukraine, and half in
Belarus. The Pripyat basin contains extensive wetlands of
international importance (including a number of Ramsar sites), as
well as areas intensively affected by the Chernobyl nuclear
accident. Throughout the project, we ensured a phased
implementation of Helsinki Convention requirements and the
development of a River Basin Management Plan using the Water
Framework Directive methodology and incorporating a participative
approach.
