The National River Restoration Science Synthesis database at NBII 

This database contains over 37,000 stream restoration projects throughout the United States, with concentrations in 7 regions of the country—California, Central US, Chesapeake Bay, Pacific Northwest, Southeast, Southwest, and Upper Midwest.   Information on these projects was collected from 2002 to 2004 by a group of stream scientists.  These data were used for a study to understand the current state of stream restoration in the United States.  You can read about the results of their study in the journal Science.  These results are now available to the general public for use in learning more about stream restoration.

There are several ways to view the data in the database:

• View summary statistics

You can also download the schema for this database in MS Access or MySQL format in order to set up your own stream restoration tracking database

We are grateful to the National Biological Information Inventory for hosting the database and to Bruce Powell at NBII for all of his work in building and maintaining it.
