Fee: $2600 9 Day Course
Prerequisites: Applied Fluvial Geomorphology or Fluvial Geomorphology for Engineers and River Morphology & Applications, and River
Assessment & Monitoring
General Description:
Natural channel design principles are utilized in a "hands on" course that provides training in river restoration, stabilization and fish habitat enhancement. The complexities involved in natural channel processes require detailed study and a working knowledge of the principles applied in river design, thus, the three pre-requisite courses will help prepare the participants for this advanced river design course. The course will include:
- Understanding the nature and cause of instability/disequilibrium, and poor habitat
- Collecting and analyzing field data
- Completing a river restoration design by integrating physical, biological and aesthetic objectives
- Channel capacity and sediment transport calculations
- Fish habitat improvement designs
- Stream-bank stabilization techniques
- Stream diversion structure design
- Riparian area improvement and function
- Construction methods, equipment selection and contracting procedures
- Design layout,
- Field supervision
- Permit applications
- Effectiveness monitoring
- Other related subjects integrated into the river designs
Check lists and procedural guidelines will be provided to assist in river designs.
Participants will evaluate existing and proposed restoration projects and observe the on-site implementation of several designs to be constructed as part of this course.
