Design / Build Policy Successful application of watershed restoration techniques and water harvesting earthworks are intimately related to the specifics of each site. Stream Dynamics’ maintains a “hands on” policy throughout the entire process – from assessment, design and building, through monitoring and maintenance. This insures fidelity to the design concept, allows us to learn from the project results, and represents a commitment to both the watershed and the landowner to adjust and repair any work until it is functioning properly within the landscape. Methods Stream Dynamics follows nature’s model when designing a project. Although the motion of water and sediment in a watercourse is determined by the laws of physics, these equations have constantly changing variables and are too complex to solve for natural systems. We therefore select an appropriate stable reference reach to use as an analog model.
