Book description
With billion spent annually on stream restoration worldwide, there
is a pressing need for guidance in this area, but until now, there was
no comprehensive text on the subject. Filling that void, this unique
text covers both new and existing information following a stepwise
approach on theory, planning, implementation, and evaluation methods
for the restoration of stream habitats. Comprehensively illustrated
with case studies from around the world, Stream and Watershed
Restoration provides a systematic approach to restoration programs
suitable for graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses on stream
or watershed restoration or as a reference for restoration
practitioners and fisheries scientists.
Part of the Advancing River Restoration and Management Series.

Dr. Philip Roni has 25 years' experience working in and conducting
research on streams and watersheds in North America and Europe. He has
written and edited numerous papers and books as well as regional and
international reports on stream and watershed restoration. He
currently directs an interdisciplinary research program of more than

and restoration at the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, Washington.
Dr. Tim Beechie has more than 25 years of experience working in
management and research of aquatic ecosystems, focusing on
understanding how watershed and riverine processes influence channel
morphology and river ecosystem dynamics. His recent publications focus
on diagnosis of restoration through watershed analysis and development
of process-based strategies for river restoration. He currently
directs a team of scientists researching the influences of watershed
processes and land uses on riverine ecosystems.
