Stream Health Workgroup Projects
Recommendations for Developing Hydromorphology Indicators with GIS Data
CompleteThis project advanced efforts to understand drivers of stream health and to develop non-biological metrics for characterizing stream health's response to management practices.
Management Approaches to Reduce Stressors of Stream Health
CompleteThis study explored how best management practices designed to reduce nutrient and sediment loads can also address key stressors on stream health.
Identifying Key Stressors Driving Biological Impairment in Freshwater Streams in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, USA
CompleteExamining key stressors behind biological impairment in Chesapeake Bay streams through research and regulatory insights.
Literature Review: Building Climate Resilience in Stream Restoration Practices
In ProgressThis review of existing research will examine the resilience of stream restoration practices in a changing climate.
Stream Restoration Permitting Survey
CompleteThis survey was designed to track progress and identify issues related to permitting stream restoration projects.
Stream Health Indicators Project
In ProgressThis project produced recommendations to develop multi-metric stream health indicators for hydraulics and geomorphology.
Stressor White Paper Project
CompleteThis project provided recommendations for the water quality impairments associated with a TMDL that will achieve co-benefits as a result of addressing other stressors through restoration practice implementation.
