Abstract

Many of the same features that are good for riparian ecology are good for people. Varying flow regimes, diversity of plants and animals, dynamic geomorphology that produces open beaches and shaded/sheltered areas, and most importantly, the presence of water - all are attractive for recreation, so human use can be an explicit part of the restoration equation.
