On the Design of Instream Structures in the Mid-Atlantic United States: An Investigation of the Design, Project, and Watershed Factors that Affect Structure Success
Instream structures are used to reinforce channel margins, redirect flows, and create habitat, but there is little consensus about their design or whether they function as intended. In this study, 536 instream structures in the state of Maryland were assessed to determine the effect of structure-, …

Comparing Reach Scale Hyporheic Exchange and Denitrification Induced by Instream Restoration Structures and Natural Streambed Morphology
… hyporheic zone flow at baseflow by addition of instream structures. The hyporheic zone can be an area of increased biogeochemical activity, with potential enhancement of reactions such as denitrification. However, the comparative effects of various instream restoration techniques, as well as the …

How does rock-ramp fishway surface texture affect the passage success of small-bodied Great Plains fishes?
… have experienced extensive fragmentation from instream structures and intermittency caused by excessive dewatering. The modifications to these waterways include numerous barriers that prevent the upstream movement of fish. State and federal resource management agencies have turned to fish …

Hydrodynamics and Morphodynamics in Kinoshita Meandering Channels
… river restoration projects such as the use of instream structures for bank erosion control, among others. Related to applied topics, a study on the hydrodynamics of meander bends with bendway weirs (for streambank protection) is present. Field measurements (Sugar creek, Illinois) and numerical …
