Description
Streams are important and complicated living systems. This introductory course will generally discuss what is a stream and what is its value. The different types of streams and geomorphological processes that influence the stream pattern and landform will also be covered. The student will be introduced to the stream process that keeps it in balance and why streams are protected by Federal/State regulations.
We will discuss the different variables that cause the stream function and process to become out of balance and how to address this problem with conceptual restoration design solutions. Different construction methods and techniques used to restore a stream will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify a stream
- List the types of streams
- Describe stream function and values and why they are protected
- Implement design solutions
- Apply construction methods
