Abstract |
Hydromodification management has traditionally focused on addressing excessive erosion or deposition in channels and the resulting geomorphic changes. The evolution of stormwater management beyond a focus on water chemistry is an important step forward in holistic efforts to protect the physical, chemical, and biological integrity of water courses. However, current approaches to hydromodification have been limited to managing runoff at the site of new or re-development. Although this approach is beneficial, there is a need for hydromodification management to evolve to a watershed-based approach focused on restoration and protection of watershed processes. Accomplishing this requires developing and organizing new tools and approaches that support integrative assessment and management. This document summarizes suites of modeling tools that can be used to help characterize and predict the complex and multifaceted effects of hydromodification. We also present an approach for developing management prescriptions that account for the specific needs and constraints of individual stream reaches in the context of the watershed in which they exist. |
