Mission: Conducts studies, investigations and research related to geomorphic, hydraulic and sedimentation engineering in rivers, streams, and reservoirs. Technical areas include alluvial channel and floodplain development, wetland and river system hydraulics, integrated river basin management for stabilization and restoration of natural streams, and improved hydraulic design methods. Work is accomplished with the aid of physical models, multi-dimensional numerical, and field investigations. Transfer technology and results to appropriate users through workshops, PROSPECT courses, guidance, lectures and consultation.
