What is involved in restoring a river? River Quality: Dynamics and
Restoration answers this question through a series of articles and
case studies written by some of the field's leading researchers and
practitioners. The first part of the book covers the physical,
chemical, and biological dynamics of a river system. The second
part describes monitoring programs and remedial measures used to
restore river systems back to healthy and functional states. The
Willamette River in Oregon and the Vistula River in Poland are used
to illustrate the dynamic and restoration processes. Each river is
in a different stage of restoration and is subjected to different
degrees of stress from agriculture, industry, and urbanization. The
Willamette is an internationally cited example of a restored river,
while the Vistula is a river that has just recently begun the
restoration process. Contrasts and comparisons of the two river
systems enable readers to learn the limitations of restoration
processes and what is involved in the different stages of
restoration.
