Resilient Rivers Blueprint

What is the Blueprint?

The Resilient Rivers Blueprint incorporates the River Journey, the River Resilience Report Card, and the Resilient Rivers Hub. Each play a vital role in establishing the tools for building and achieving resilience in your river and community.

Why the Blueprint?

Most of the rivers around the world are fragmented, degraded and in poor condition. Global change continues to put pressure on these critical resources and water security. We need to ensure that our rivers will be there to provide services for future generations.
