"Ann L. Riley describes an interdisciplinary approach to stream management that does not attempt to "control" streams, but rather considers the stream as a feature in the urban environment. She presents a logical sequence of land-use planning, site design, and watershed restoration measures along with stream channel modifications and floodproofing strategies that can be used in place of destructive and expensive public works projects. She features examples of effective and environmentally sensitive bank stabilization and flood damage reduction projects, with information on both the planning processes and end results. Chapters provide: history of urban stream management and restoration; information on federal programs, technical assistance, and funding opportunities; and in-depth guidance on implementing projects: collecting watershed and stream channel data, installing revegetation projects, protecting buildings from overbank stream flows."--Jacket. 1. The Basics -- 2. The Urban River Planners -- 3. The Environmental Professionals -- 4. River Scientists -- 5. Hydraulic Engineers -- 6. Restoration Is Ancient History -- 7. Managing Floodplains -- 8. Citizen-Supported Restoration Activities -- 9. A Survey of Urban Watershed and Stream Restoration Methods. |
