Loss of Fluvial Process Function Impacts Habitat and Biological Communities
Channel modification and habitat degradation are considered the greatest impairments to water quality. Many streams have lost their ability to support functions such as providing critical habitat, recreation, drinking water supply, and flood control by impacts to the balance of sediment and discharge relationship. EnviroScience uses proven restoration methods to revitalize degraded systems or improve existing conditions. Our experience with aquatic communities lends itself to a unique approach to stream restoration projects. Understanding the habitat requirements of individual species results in successful restoration projects that meet project objectives. Our Restoration Biologist has a multidisciplinary knowledge of fluvial systems that allows for assessment, design and implementation of restoration projects.
