Product Description
A Handbook for Stream Enhancement and Stewardship is a basic resource intended to help individuals, groups, organizations, companies, communities, and governments plan and carry out environmentally sound, cost-effective stream corridor assessment, enhancement, and stewardship programs. Using the watershed as the basic unit of reference, the Handbook provides ideas and information with which readers can assess and document local stream conditions, learn about and evaluate methods of enhancement, devise and implement enhancement plans, and then maintain the stream and stream corridor in its enhanced state of better health and balance. While not a comprehensive technical manual for professionals trained in stream restoration, this resource does provide a solid foundation by which volunteers and lay readers may become informed observers, advocates, and organizers of stream enhancement programs and effective participants in their implementation. |

This is definitely a handbook, nothing else 
I read this entire book only to discover it is a handbook. It would be great as a textbook. It was written by several writers which made it difficult to read. Some were better writers than others and some should have scaled down their writing.
