本文讨论并总结了《水生生物学/水生生物学发展》题为“生命河流：科学和管理的趋势与挑战”特刊的主要结论。它的结构分为三部分：（1）河流系统的功能； （2）河流水系生态修复； (3)可持续经营的挑战和障碍。可持续流域管理需要透彻了解自然、物理、化学和生态过程以及社会经济功能。河流系统的环境恢复不可避免地需要基于生态系统的方法，涉及公众支持的解决方案。面临的挑战是将生态和社会经济的可持续性结合起来。重新思考我们在两个方向上的努力必须带来比目前可用的解决方案更具创新性的解决方案。
This paper discusses and summarizes the major conclusions of the special issue entitled ‘Living rivers: trends and challenges in science and management’ of Hydrobiologia/Developments in Hydrobiology. It is structured along three lines: (1) Functioning of river systems; (2) Ecological rehabilitation of river systems; (3) Challenges and obstacles to sustainable management. Sustainable river basin management requires a thorough understanding of natural, physical, chemical and ecological processes as well as socio-economic functioning. Environmental rehabilitation of river systems inevitably requires an ecosystem-based approach involving solutions supported by the public. The challenge is to combine ecological and socio-economic sustainability. Rethinking our efforts in both directions must lead to more innovative solutions than those available at present.
