The article is in the Start-class category. There is not much on the talk page. There is one photo of a flooded road in the Europe section. I think a better photo to include would be one of a floodplain or during a restoration project, however these may be harder to obtain. The 'See Also' section provides important and relevant links. The tone of this article is neutral, they state definitions and list projects.

This article provides a concise overview and definition of floodplain restoration. The article describes floodplain in Europe with a brief history and lists some project. However, the last project mentioned was 2002, I feel that there may need to be some added here. Then, the article lists some project in the United States, but does not provide the same history as its Europe section. This is a good starting point for this topic. This article could be updated to include more regions than just Europe and the U.S. to provide a better understanding of floodplain restoration globally. When expanded, I think the sources would better reflect current literature and the current state of floodplain restoration projects.
