Conservation Efforts Human Dimensions Water Security

In our efforts to domesticate our lands and waters to the benefit of man, we have inadvertently degraded their ability to provide other uses. For example, by altering riparian areas and wetlands, we have affected their ability to provide fish and wildlife habitat as well as provide stream bank stability, flood protection and water quality protection. Environmental restoration tactics provide a means for remediating affected areas so they are able to resume their former roles in the water cycle of their community.

This area of the CSREES National Water Quality website will eventually feature content that demonstrates how Environmental Restoration issues are being addressed across the nation.

More information on how Environmental Restoration issues are being addressed throughout the country is available via these CSREES Regional Water Quality Programs:
