A river corridor is the minimum space needed to sustain key river functions based on an understanding of the desired functions of that corridor and the processes governing channel and floodplain formation. Giving such space is a fundamental nature-based solution to river management, as it allows the river to use its own energy to maintain flood conveyance and habitat function.

DEA is commonly used to evaluate the efficiency of a number of producers. DEA is a technique for assessing and ranking the performance of corporations, research projects or other entities where an entire array of indicators of performance are to be evaluated. (TRG/GICM, FAO, 2004. Various. Invented by A. Charnes and W.W. Cooper, the University of Texas at Austin, together with their numerous Ph.D. students. The IC2 Institute at an early point became a center for this research, organizing conferences, building DEA data bases, and promoting the publication of research.)
