2016 UMRR HREP Team Meeting
Date: September 27-29, 2016
Location: Davenport, IA
Restoring habitat is one of two major focus areas of the Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program. Habitat rehabilitation and enhancement projects (HREPs) utilize a wide range of construction techniques and approaches that mimic natural river processes and provide benefits to the river system at the system, reach, pool, and local scales. The purpose of this meeting was to bring individuals together who help plan, design, build, operate, maintain and monitor these projects such that lessons learned and new techniques can be shared.
