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.
