To achieve the goals of LIFE+ project “Restoring the hydrological regime of Ķemeri National Park”, one of the preparatory works is completed – programmes of hydrological restoration have been prepared. The work behind these documents can possibly be regarded as the most detailed evaluation of real situation and the impact of the planned activities that was ever been made before restoration of wetlands in Latvia. Nature values, impact of drainage, possible restoration scenarios, expected impact on adjacent areas and planned monitoring activities are included in these programmes.
