The photos show two stream bottoms in the Delaware River Basin; the distinctions are obvious. In the inset photo on the right, the stream is in poor condition. It is smothered in silt rendering it lifeless and unattractive. In its present condition you probably would not choose to go there. The stream on the left is inviting and provides a healthy aquatic habitat. If a stream in your community is in poor condition, it can be improved. If its condition is good, it can be maintained. Restoration and preservation techniques are being developed worldwide by numerous agencies, organizations, and research institutes. The following web pages provide information for protecting and restoring the integrity of our basin waterway corridors. Future additions to the web site will include
information tailored specifically to meet the needs of public works
officials, civil engineers, fishery biologists, environmental commissions,
and watershed organizations. In addition, we will provide location
maps of photographs presented on the web pages, and additional photographs
with descriptions of harmful non-indigenous plant species that are
invading our waterway corridors. |
