This paper summarizes recent examples of measures to remediate the ecology of 
regulated and fragmented rivers in boreal and temperate regions. The catchment 
area is suggested as the most appropriate scale and framework for such measures. 
Suitable measures may include reinstatement of flooding and productivity levels, 
management of nuisance growth of aquatic macrophytes, rehabilitation of 
depauperate riparian zones, increased habitat diversity, stocking of fish and 
construction of bypass channels for fish migration. Finally, an overall approach 
to remedial measures is proposed in which they form part of an integrated 
catchment management for regulated rivers.
