Penticton, British Columbia, Canada
Please Note:Course is now full! |
Lead Instructor: Dr. Bob Newbury, Newbury Hydraulics
Guest-instructor: - Dr. Steve Peake, CRI & UNB
The 5 day course consists of 8 half-day lectures and a day’s field trip to a completed pool and riffle fish passage project and to the Okanagan River re-meandering project now under construction near Oliver BC.
Three lectures deal with fluvial processes and hydraulics with a special emphasis on aquatic habitats, three lectures deal with designing pools and riffles, meanders, and fish passage works. The final lectures illustrate the application of HEC-RAS, CHUTE and FishXing programs as they apply to two trout and salmon project designs.
All lecture materials are contained in a 200+ page project case book with 14 completed inland and coastal stream and river projects. An attached CD contains the design programs and the sample project files.
The course is designed for those with an interest in stream restoration, design, and monitoring. Participants will receive instruction in fluvial hydrology, ecological considerations, restoration design and technical details, and aquatic monitoring and assessment. The course will be a combination of lecture and field components. A current large-scale stream restoration project in the town of Oliver will be visited to demonstrate the applications and stream and biological monitoring in the field.
The lectures and handbook are designed for engineers, biologists, and other earth scientists in government, university, and environmental consulting who are working directly in the disciplines presented or are responsible for planning, assessing, and approving restoration projects.
