American rivers are suffering from poor water quality, altered flows, and diminished natural habitat. This title presents case studies of eight river restoration efforts, including dam removals on the Neuse and Kennebec rivers, simulation of seasonal flows on the Colorado river, and the failed attempt to restore salmon runs on the Snake river.
