Riverscapes Models & Tools
Models
Through the Riverscapes Consortium, a number of models have been developed to help scope, plan, design, and evaluate low-tech process-based restoration projects. These models are all open source on GitHub so you can use them for your own projects and assessments. They are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License so you can adapt, distribute, and share them freely.
Riverscapes Tools
- BRAT (Beaver Restoration Assessment Tool): useful for condition assessment and developing expectations for beaver dam building.
- RCAT (Riparian Condition Assessment Tool): helpful for assessing riparian conditions, identifying the causes of departure from historic conditions, and evaluating recovery potential within the valley bottom.
