Stream and Watershed Restoration: A Guide to Restoring Riverine Processes and Habitats

With $2 billion spent annually on stream restoration worldwide, there is a pressing need for guidance in this area, but until now, there was no comprehensive text on the subject. Filling that void, this unique text covers both new and existing information on theory, planning, implementation, and evaluation methods for the restoration of stream habitats. Comprehensively illustrated with case studies from around the world, the book provides a systematic approach to restoration programs suitable for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses or as a reference for restoration practitioners and fisheries scientists.
