The guidebook collates and summarises the results of geomorphological R&D projects performed for the Environment Agency and its predecessor the NRA during the 1990s. During that period the use of geomorphology in river engineering, management, conservation and restoration increased dramatically. In the UK, the application of geomorphological science and practice now forms a regular part of projects involving flood protection, fisheries, conservation, recreation, environmental protection and river restoration.
