IntroductionAdapted for the Internet from Stream Corridor Restoration: The Federal Interagency Stream Restoration Work Group This module is about the physical structure of one of the most ecologically and hydrologically important parts of the watershed and the environment in general -- the stream corridor (defined as the stream, its floodplains, and a transitional upland fringe). The module's text, photos and graphics have been adapted with minor modifications from Stream Corridor Restoration: Principles, Processes and Practices (Note: to return to this module after viewing the other site, simply close the window) , a 1998 publication developed by the Federal Interagency Stream Restoration Work Group (FISRWG). As an alternative to completing this module interactively, some readers with copies of this document may choose to read Chapters 1B and 1C and then return to this site to take the module's self-test.
