Stream restoration is a complex process. The foundation to a successful stream restoration project is recognizing the processes that create a channel with dynamic equilibrium - one that maintains its morphology over time. Natural channel design takes is an alternative approach to traditional engineering. Natural Channel Design focuses on the reestablishment of the natural stability of the channel as well as restoring the structure and function of ecosystems, rather than just the efficient conveyance of water. Fluvial geomorphology is the study of the processes that create channels. Knowledge of fluvial geomorphology allows for the understanding of the underlying problems causing channel instability. Stream assessment, classification, and survey methods are critical for evaluating degraded channels. Stream assessment, classification and survey methods are also needed for setting as target restoration levels (reference reaches) and for monitoring changes to stream systems. Stream restoration projects using Natural Channel Design can produce long-term dynamically stable channels, increase wildlife habitat value, improve water quality, and enhance aesthetics.
