The river was channelized in the past, and meander bends were removed from the channel. To do this the restoration workers will rebuild the banks. The river will then flow in a natural way and bank erosion will be minimized. It will also provide a nice path for canoeing with deep enough waters. After all the reconstruction, wetland terraces will be created to help filter overland runoff water.
Filtration is possible because the stems of plants catch sediment particles.
When the water enters back into the river, it will be cleaner and have less silt. Next, wildlife habitat structures will be created. Places of calm water will be created for fish to rest and lay their eggs. This will happen by placing rocks to form eddies and making undercuts in the banks. Last but not least, seeds will be planted to help create riparian vegetation along the river.
