STREAM CORRIDOR RESTORATION: PRINCIPLES, PROCESSES, AND PRACTICES (NEW FEDERAL INTERAGENCY GUIDANCE DOCUMENT)

Previous generations of hydraulic engineers were associated with projects that featured major structural interventions in streams and rivers, such as construction of dams, canals, channelization projects, and levees. In recent years, a growing national and global awareness of environmental issues, in general, and of the importance of streams, in particular, has resulted in numerous projects intended to restore or rehabilitate environmental resources degraded by earlier engineering projects or other factors. In conjunction with the growing interest in stream restoration, an interdisciplinary group of technical leaders representing several federal agencies met initially to explore possibilities for a stream corridor restoration guideline in late 1994. A process of partnering among 15 federal agencies and many colleagues outside the federal government has produced "Stream Corridor Restoration: Principles, Processes, and Practices." Hydraulic engineers will find basic information on biology and water quality in Chapters 2 and 3. Engineers charged with project management may find valuable insights in Chapters 4, 5, 6, and 9. Chapters 7 and 8 include basic information on hydrologic analyses, geomorphic analyses, and channel design.
