Kootenai River Habitat Restoration

Constructed channel features and changes in the Phase 1A side channel restoration area of the Kootenai River near Bonners Ferry, Idaho. The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho is managing a large-scale, ecosystem-based river habitat restoration effort that will be implemented over a period of 10 to 15 years across a 55-mile reach of the Kootenai River in northern Idaho. The USGS is monitoring streamflow, river geomorphology, and sediment transport to support the Tribe's restoriation effort.
