Stream restoration is an increasingly common technique used by local, state, federal, and private landowners and organizations to stabilize and improve the biological integrity of impaired channels. This process generally includes restoring a channel's geomorphic pattern and shape to be in dynamic equilibrium where it neither aggrades nor degrades. Therefore, a healthy and functioning stream should exhibit geomorphic stability while providing clean and abundant habitat for fish, waterfowl, and other aquatic organisms.
