Design Manual:
Stream
Restoration Hydraulics (2010)
Stream Restoration Hydraulics is a collection
of successful project designs illustrating the application of simple
open channel hydraulic solutions that restore selected aquatic habitats and
natural characteristics to channelized and altered streams and
rivers.
Aspects of fluvial geomorphology,
stream habitats and open channel hydraulics provide the background
for designing pools, riffles, meanders, channel re-alignments and fish
passage works. Appendices include long-hand and programmed hydraulic calculations,
riffle construction guidelines, and student flow meter and flume
building instructions.
Freeware programs,
prairie and coastal construction
videos and HEC, CHUTE and FishXing (freeware) project files for two
projects are
included on an attached CD.
The background materials and project designs
have been widely used in stream project assessment and restoration
design workshops for government agencies, environmental consulting
firms and university courses in North America, Europe and Australia.
The principal contribution to the large field of stream restoration
literature is the illustration of how hydraulic conditions were
designed to restore targeted natural stream features and hydraulic
habitats in 15 successfully built and monitored projects.
