Watershed Assessment and Restoration
Skelly and Loy believes that a watershed-wide appraisal of stream and catchment conditions is essential prior to implementing stream restoration or enhancement projects. This approach helps to target and prioritize restoration projects to make better use of limited available project funding and ensure improved long-term success of projects. In performing watershed assessments, Skelly and Loy customizes the specific data and observations collected in the assessment to the objectives of the ultimate project, whether it be stream stability, flood control, stormwater management, or aquatic system enhancement.
