Natural Channel Design

Natural Channel Design is a method used to restore or create streams and river channels that work with their natural processes. It aims to recreate the original shape, flow, and ecology of a stream by considering factors like water flow, sediment transport, and surrounding landscape. This approach ensures the channel can efficiently carry water and support healthy habitats, reducing erosion and flood risks. By mimicking natural conditions, the design promotes sustainable, self-maintaining stream systems that adapt over time without heavy artificial interventions.
