Communities are often responsible for flood protection and water conservation but lack a specific program for dealing with stream maintenance. Often stream maintenance projects create new problems while attempting to solve others. A watershed-friendly stream maintenance program can help communities provide flood management and erosion prevention to protect existing community structures all while protecting aquatic habitat, improving water quality, and enhancing riparian buffers. An accompanying manual, "Watershed-friendly Stream Maintenance: A Guide for Communities", was developed as part of an Ohio Education Fund (OEEF) grant and is available via download or as a hard copy via mail.
