About the project
UPRISE focuses on flood mitigation in the Halden watercourse and is formally run by Aurskog-Høland municipality.
UPRISE has developed a management tool specifically for municipalities. The method is knowledge-based, holistic and inclusive so that areas can be prioritised for marsh restoration.
The project was funded by the Viken Regional Research Fund. The project group consisted of NIVA, NIBIO, Aurskog-Høland municipality and the Haldenvassdraget river sub-basin district organisation. The project period was August 2022 to March 2025.
The aim is to ensure the highest cost-effectiveness and lowest level of conflicts and barriers to restoration. Citizens, organisations and businesses will be included. Flood risk reduction is a keyword in UPRISE, where we will apply new methods to identify areas of interest, quantify flood risk reduction and optimise other benefits such as erosion reduction, water purification and biodiversity.
