Steady Stream Hydrology designs stream projects to incorporate multiple goals with the overall goal of providing long-term stability for the river system.  For example, the following photo shows a project where we successfully helped a rancher improve an irrigation diversion while increasing channel stability and enhancing fisheries habitat.  Natural Channel concepts make it possible to achieve all of these goals in a holistic fashion rather than using a single-focus  or “hardening” approach that may actually undermine other stream features.

Final design occurs during construction utilizing a design-build technique where we use only highly-trained specialized equipment operators.  Our extensive construction experience ensures that the project is built accurately and efficiently, incorporating appropriate field modifications and minimizing disturbance to the river system.
