Tim Smith Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Excellent article here in the New York Times regarding stream restoration: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/science/...amp;oref=slogin Here's a quote: "Many hydrologists and geologists say people embark on projects without fully understanding the waterways they want to restore and without paying enough attention to what happens after a project is finished." The gist of the article is that the demand for stream restorations has outstripped the science. Restorations are very expensive, often fail, and generally need more monitoring and research to the feedback necessary to improve the way they are done. Kudos to the ISA for following up with support for monitoring on the Clear Creek restoration they helped fund last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Back in 2001 I got a couple nice publications from Trout Unlimited on stream restoration. They were; Saving A Stream- A Practical Guide for Coldwater Habitat Projects An Indexed Bibliography of Stream Habitat Restoration I don't know if they are still availible but both were well worth what I paid, $10 for both if I remember right. The contact information then was ; Trout Unlimited Attn:Allison Benedetti 1500 Wilson Blvd., Suite 310 Arlinton, Va. 22209-2404 Phone 703-522-0200 Fax 703-284-9400 http://www.tu.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Smith Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 TU has done some good stuff...and had some set-backs too. They're still in the learning curve with everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
