Typical river corridor conditions in the Braided Reach upstream from Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

RDG was retained by the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho to evaluate historical, current, and potential river corridor conditions on 55 miles of the Kootenai River.  RDG is a member of a larger restoration team tasked with developing a restoration plan for rehabilitating Kootenai River white sturgeon, a federally-listed endangered species.  Preliminary work has included developing hydraulic models to compare current and historical conditions, sediment transport relationships, and investigating potential river corridor and hydro system modifications.
