This discrepancy between the desired and actual state of the resource leads to efforts in river basin restoration. River basins are complex systems, and too often, restoration efforts are ineffective due to a lack of understanding of the purpose of the system, defined by the system structure and function. The river basin structure includes stocks (e.g., water level or quality), inflows (e.g., precipitation or fertilization), outflows (e.g., evaporation or runoff), and positive and negative feedback loops with delays in responsiveness, all of which function to change or stabilize the state of the system (e.g., the stock of interest, such as water level or quality). External drivers on this structure, together with goals and rules, contribute to how a river basin functions. This book reviews several new research projects to identify and rank the twelve most effective leverage points to address discrepancies between the desired and actual state of the river basin system. This book demonstrates that river basin restoration is most likely to succeed when we change paradigms rather than try to change the system elements, as the paradigm will establish the system goals, structure, rules, delays, and parameters. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aRiver thermal pollution 610 $aMechanistic model 610 $aUrban hydrology 610 $aRiparian shading 610 $aHeat balance 610 $afunctional indicators 610 $astream restoration 610 $ariparian vegetation 610 $afencing 610 $acotton tensile-strength loss 610 $awood decay 610 $aecosystem metabolism 610 $aorganic matter transport 610 $acatchment restoration 610 $astructure-function relationships 610 $atotal water pollutant control 610 $apollutant load allocation 610 $aequity and efficiency 610 $aregional and site-specific scale 610 $aenvironmental Gini coefficient models 610 $aDelphi-analytic hierarchy process models 610 $awater quality in streams 610 $aself-purification 610 $anitrates 610 $aphosphates 610 $ahyporheic zone 610 $ahyporheic exchange 610 $aevapotranspiration 610 $agroundwater modeling 610 $aenvironmental flow component 610 $aEthiopia 610 $aholistic environmental flow assessment 610 $ahydrological foundation 610 $aindicators of hydrologic alteration software 610 $aLake Tana 610 $aboulder spacing 610 $asubmergence ratio 610 $anear-bed shear stress 610 $aReynolds shear stress 610 $aturbulent events 610 $ariver engineering 610 $ameander bend 610 $aCFD simulation 610 $ahydraulic complexity 610 $aflood mapping 610 $auncertainty 610 $aBayesian inference 610 $arating curve 610 $awatershed 610 $asystems 610 $arestoration 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aEndreny$b Theodore$4edt$01303464 702 $aEndreny$b Theodore$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557578503321 996 $aA Systems Approach for River and River Basin Restoration$93027077 997 $aUNINA
