Barinaga, M. (1996). A recipe for river recovery? Science. 273:1648-1650.
The author outlines contemporary approaches to river recovery that are more holistic in nature than previous management initiatives; namely the restoration of the physical processes that shape a river's habitats. This contemporary management approached is guided by major advances in river ecology and theoretical concepts. However, the author also highlights that political issues may limit its application. Political roadblocks to river restoration are especially acute in regions of the United States experiencing water shortages. Competing water demands among agriculture, industry, and municipalities create a charged political environment in which to attempt large-scale river restoration.
