A strong focus on channel morphology led approaches that involve major Earth-moving activities, reconfiguration with unmet assumption recovery will follow. Functional aim regain full suite biogeochemical, ecological, hydrogeomorphic processes make up a healthy river, though there is well-accepted support this, research methods implement assess functional projects in its infancy. plethora new studies worldwide provide data why how rivers are being restored well project outcomes. Measurable improvements postrestoration vary by method measur...
