Workshop Description
This course is for individuals involved in stream assessment and restoration/mitigation projects and provides a framework for assessing stream functions. Participants will learn that stream functions follow a hierarchical structure, which has been organized by the following categories: hydrology, hydraulics, geomorphology, physicochemical and biology. The course starts with lectures and exercises on stream functions following the Pyramid Framework and then moves into applications. Participants will learn about the Stream Quantification Tool (SQT) and work with function-based parameters, measurement methods, and associated reference standards.
Participants will use the SQT to calculate the difference between a restored and existing stream condition. Field data will be collected and enterted into the tool to determine the existing condition. Participants will then model the proposed condition to calculate functional lift.
Learn how the framework and SQT can be used to:
The workshop includes lectures, classroom exercises/discussion, and field exercises.
