Abstract
Healthy, self-sustaining river systems provide important ecological and societal goods and services upon which human life depends (Postel and Richter 2003). Concern over sustaining these services has stimulated major restoration efforts, and river and stream restoration has now become a world-wide phenomenon (Palmer et al. 2005).
