Summary
| Description |
By reverse-engineering a meandering stream, researchers have shown two ingredients to be very important: vegetation to reinforce banks and prevent erosion, and sand to build point bars and block off cut-off channels and chutes. This knowledge will help stream restoration efforts in the future. To learn more about this research, see the NSF press release. Credit: Zina Deretsky, National Science Foundation |
