Welcome to the Newbury Hydraulics web site. The company practice consists of river engineering for stream habitat restoration, third party project reviews and field courses/workshops held in Canadian streams and rivers. Click on the above links for current schedules, manuals and course materials (RRNW short course on pool and riffle design added 2008).

Canadian Stream Reference Book: a long-term project with the Water Survey of Canada to gather data on the hydraulics and characteristics of representative river and stream reaches near Canadian gauging stations commenced in 2006. Observations will continue in the reaches until sufficient data have been gathered to describe drought, channel forming and flood conditions. Below is a typical example of the variation in roughness values with discharge in Chapman Creek BC, WSC gauge 08GA078.
