Evaluation of Geomorphic Restoration Techniques Applied to Fluvial Systems

Title
Evaluation of Geomorphic Restoration Techniques Applied to Fluvial Systems
Abstract
The material in this booklet has been organized into three sections by general landscape setting. Section 2 discusses the challenges of implementing geomorphic restoration within entrenched channels in alluvial landscapes. The mechanism of entrenchment may vary, however the end result is a loss of floodplain area and concentration of flows. These systems are generally classified as F or G stream types (see Rosgen 1996), and they all require a restoration approach that recognizes how the limited floodplain width and capacity alters the dynamics of the channel/floodplain system.
Purpose
It is primarily intended for use by experienced river restorationists, as well as those contemplating restoration. Because of the limited scope of this booklet, it could best be used in conjunction with other restoration technique manuals such as Dave Rosgen's Applied River Morphology (1996), Water Bioengineering Techniques (Scheichtl and Stern), Stream Corridor Restoration (Federal Interagency Stream Restoration Group), etc.
