| Abstract: |
This book describes more options for the treatment of the urban stream than are usually considered by conventional engineering projects. Both the general public and the professional engineer can benefit by being aware of these options. The variety of approaches described can help even seasoned professional be more competitive in the changing marketplace of public attitudes, environmental regulations, and increasingly scarce government dollars. The Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and increasing numbers of state agencies and local water conservation and flood-control districts now have policy directives to avoid channelization and design environmentally sensitive stream management projects and plans. |
